Forums - Microsoft - How To Get Your Cable TV Surround Sound Working On Xbox One

Kotaku

There's been some confusion about whether the Xbox One can play cable TV in surround sound. It can. There's a catch—a presumably temporary one

As I wrote in the New York Times last week and as we mentioned in our review of the console, the Xbox One will downgrade any surround sound audio that comes from a devices connected via its HDMI-in port to stereo. It does this by default.

That's odd and it's clearly not what Microsoft wants, since they actually are shipping the Xbox One with a TV surround sound option. That option is buried under a bunch of menus. It's labeled as being in "beta", though any user can access it and Microsoft intends to improve it.

I will just come out of my Receiver pass through and into the XBox. that simple. Then as normal you got to lip sync it.
