xbox 360 surround
Hey,
I dont know if anyone can help with this but I have searched all of the forums but no luck.... I have got a jvc surround system which is connected to my xbox with a digital optical cable via the component cable. When i watch films i get full 5.1 surround (all the speakers are lit up on the display and the cable is fine). however when i select 5.1 output in the dashboard settings i hear nothing at all on any of my games. I can select stereo which then 2 speakers light up with dolby digital 2 and i do have sound from all speakers but not 5.1. Should i be getting 5.1 all the time or does the 360 not support this? its doing my head in as it maybe something simple! I checked cables, the receiver is fine as i do get 5.1 surround on dvds any help would be really appreciated im tearing my hair out! |

could it be that you are playing games that don't have 5.1? I'm not sure if there are many out there that don't support it, not something I've looked into.

yea i have all the call of duty's and they support 5.1 as most game do on the xbox i think.
maybe the xbox is the problem? i get sound out of all speakers on digital stereo but only two speakers are lit up but when i select 5.1 on the xbox all speakers light up so it is receiving the signal but no sound at all |
