Xbox one app AAC 7.1 audio transcode

[Gohlas 14]

Hei.

 

I have a couple of movies in aac 7.1 that does not play (just audio doesn't play, videos is fine) on my Xbox one S.

 

Any possibility to add automaticly transcode (downmix) AAC 7.1 audio to AAC or AC3 5.1 on xbox app? (Same as TRUEHD)

Hi, you're saying the Xbox does not support this? Or your audio equipment?

My audio equipment does not support aac7.1. Not sure about the xbox.

Is this a receiver, or your TV?

It's a Receiver.

Ok, we plan to add an audio settings screen in the future to allow you to indicate which formats can be passed through. Thanks.

I think that the XBOX can be set to bitstream 5.1 / 7.1 PCM.  You should then be able to send that PCM audio from your XBOX to your receiver via HDMI.  If you are using optical cable, then you can not.  I have this set-up with a Yamaha AV Receiver.
