The news will come as a disappointment to AV enthusiasts hoping to run their TV configuration through the Xbox One, and a surprise given the platform holder’s push for the console to be seen as an all-in-one entertainment box. The Xbox One can still produce surround sound for Blu-rays, DVDs and games played on the console, but will not output surround sound for any other device connected to the console via the HDMI In port.
That ‘alternative configuration’, I guess, is sticking to your current AV setup. “For surround sound, you’ll need to consider an alternative configuration.”
If your cable or satellite box is sending audio data through your Xbox One over HDMI, only stereo sound will be received. For my original Xbox I used hdmi pass through hdmi from Xbox to avoid then to tv, when I upgraded to the X, my AV doesnt support 4k or hdr, so I hook my Xbox one X direct to the TV, then use an optical cable from the Xbox to the aux input on my AV system, works very well for me, maybe there is a better way too do it but I have yet to find one.

In an update on its Xbox Support site, Microsoft confirmed that “the Xbox One console does not support digital surround sound input over HDMI. ORIGINAL REPORT: Xbox One does not support digital surround sound input through HDMI, meaning that signals from cable or set top boxes connected via the Xbox One’s HDMI In port will not output surround sound. “We found some bugs on certain, so it’s in ‘beta'”. The Series S, on the other hand, comes with HDMI. “You can enable in the settings,” added Xbox marketing director Albert Penello. Microsofts Xbox Series X comes with an HDMI 2.1 port at the back of the console and a matching cable in the box. Why, then, does Microsoft’s support state otherwise? “Good catch,” added Whitten, “I will get them to change the text to include the beta option.
