Xbox one sound options

So an Xbox One is HDMI only by the looks of it and I want to use an LCD screen with no speakers. What are the options for sound output?


Solution 1:

You have several options:

  • If you have a receiver with an HDMI/Optical input, you can connect those directly to your Xbox with the appropriate cables. If you have speakers/headphones with optical input, you can connect those to the console directly as well.
  • You can use the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to connect 3.5mm headphones directly to your controller.
  • You can get an optical to analog audio converter to output the sound to speakers with RCA input.

Solution 2:

It depends on your speaker system. If the system has HDMI in/out, you can do it like this: enter image description here

If its Toslink in, you can do it like this:

As far as i know, there is no way to get a 3.5 mm jack out from an xbox one.
