Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital 5.1 are entirely different things.
Your links do not discredit anything. The first says it supports 5.1 surround, which is does, if it's DTS. They DO NOT specifiy DD 5.1 and/or 7.1 at all.
Your second link is about HDMI. We already know it supports Dolby Digital 5.1 through HDMI.
Even the Astro website has this to say about their surround sound headsets. Notice one says Dolby Digital 5.1/7.1 and the other only says Dolby Digital? Dolby Digital is stereo, not surround.
Edit - They actually don't even mention XBOX One on their website, only the PS4. For the XBox One they issued this statement back in October. This is where it is mentioned that it supports ONLY Dolby Digital, with zero mention of Dolby Digital 5.1 and/or 7.1. They actually say more than they need to in order to convince everyone that there is indeed an issue.
Sounds like they are either in the works on making DTS compatible headsets and/or MS is working on correcting the issue as there is obviously an issue here.

Xbox One: Game Audio for the Xbox One will function as normal, through the optical output – meaning all our c urrent products will deliver full Dolby ® Digital GAME AUDIO on the XBOX One. However, the chat connector on the controller is now a proprietary connector, meaning that our current products will require an adapter to connect to the controller for Xbox Live voice chat. Fortunately, until this chat adapter is available, the built-in Kinect microphone will provide full voice communication access to Xbox Live while using ASTRO headsets on the Xbox One.
Regarding new Xbox One products in our pipeline, we are an officially licensed Xbox One partner, but we are not allowed to comment on the specifics of any products we have under development. Rest assured, none of our current products will be made obsolete by anything going on in the Xbox One ecosystem.
PS4 COMPATIBILITY
PS4: We can say with 100% certainty that our headsets will deliver Dolby ® Digital GAME AUDIO on the PS4, just like they do for the PS3. Our headsets will also deliver full voice chat functionality over the PlayStation Network upon Sony’s release of a post-launch PS4 firmware update.
Website now says:
Zero mention of XBox One.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
