Forums - Microsoft - No Dolby 5.1 Support On Xbox One Optical Port

So ... am I fine to get 5.1 sound on my soundsystem and this is just for headsets?



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

What. The. Fuck. I hope to hell this doesn't take forever to get straightened out. I refuse to do any serious gaming without my Ax Pros. This is the first thing that I've heard that actually pisses me off a little.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Not sure. If the game you're playing only outputs Dolby digital surround sound you might only get 2.1 stereo.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

@Dirty

If you run your surround sound through HDMI you'll be fine.

USB does not give true surround sound. You gt virtual surround sound.

Many might not care but I know audiophiles would.

true, but he asked if this affect only headsets, its the other way.



good DTS is far better anyway... but yeah it sucks for DDS users... pretty sure a fix is already in the works... we all know half of the launch complain should be ironed out on both consoles in the following months.... just sucks for early adopters



This will be fixed asap........Nothing to see here, move along.
