Xbox series X has sound issues with TV?

that doesnt mean that it doesnt affect the series s though. My brother has a series X just like me with a samsung tv as well and he has never had any issues with his sound and didnt believe me when I explained my issues to him.

I too have an Xbox Series X connected to a Samsung TV and a Sonos Beam. The set up up is Series X to Samsung TV via HDMI and TV to Sonos Beam via HDMI ARC.

I get sound fairly consistently from start up, however if I play a game for a couple of hours and then return to the dashboard I have no sound on the dashboard or on anything else I try to open within the dashboard menu. If I go back into the game I was playing I get sound within that game but nothing else. The only way to resolve this is turning off for a longer period or unplugging the HDMI from the Xbox into the TV for an instant fix. This isn’t an adequate fix though, especially for a wall mounted tv.

When I experience these issues, if I change source to normal TV, I have sound as normal with no issue. But the second I go back to the Xbox source, there is no sound. Therefore I too believe this is an issue on the Xbox side but would be helpful if this can be categorically confirmed.

Has anybody managed to get any further with the root cause of the issue/permanent workarounds?

Thanks in advance.

I also have the same setup. Xbox Series X conneted to Samsung TV via HDMI. Samsung TV connected to a Klipsch sound bar via HDMI ARC. Experiencing the same issue described by many others.

I have opened a thread on the Samsung forums as I did not find any on this topic. Please go there and add your comments to create attention

thanks

XBOX Series X emerging issue - no sound on games a... - Samsung Community - 2393045

Updated:

I found that my soundbar SONY HT Z9F soundbar use HDMI 2.0 of which bandwidth is 18gbs connect to my TV using eARC port, so I changes my HDMI to

8K HDMI of which soundbar is 48gbs, and the delay improve a lot that it is hard to notice now.

I have tested. My set is

TV has enable eARC and set sound passthrough, HDMI BITSTREAM. XBOX SERIES allows PASSTHROUGH.

XBOX SERIES X --> LG 65 QNED90 --> SONY HT Z9F (eARC)

there is very noticeable delay on Atmos but don't have delay on any uncompressed sound like 5.1 or 7.1

XBOX SERIES X --> SONY HT Z9F (eARC) --> LG 65 QNED90

the atoms sound is sync with image, but I got a ton of delay on controller input, so I set TV image mode to Game Optimize,

and set game mode to FPS, the controller input delay is gone, but now, i got atoms delay back...

By the way, because my TV doesn't support DTS - X PASSTHROUGH, so when I connect XBOX to my soundbar, I could enable DTS X, and DTS X is working perfectly and there is no any delay comparing to Dolby Atmos.

Razer Blade 15 with RTX 2070 MAX Q --> LG 65 QNED90 --> SONY HT Z9F (eARC)

I don't have any input or atmos sound delay in this set.

So here is conclusion:

xbox series x has issue to passthrough Atmos content, even thought it is directly connect to sound bar, the sound or TV try to delay image to sync with atmos sound which causes a ton of input delay. But once you set the TV into low legacy input mode to get rid of input delay, the Atmos sound delay will be back.

And Razer blade 15 with RTX 2070 MAX Q which is PC is perfectly working at Atmos without any issue.

So this is definitely XBOX SERIES X ISSUE!!!!
