So I just recently bought a Sonos Beam. Loving it so far. The Beam is connected to my tv through HDMI Arc and i have no optical cable running from my Xbox One to the sound bar so I think I'm just passing it through my tv (I'm new to home theatre stuff haha)
When tinkering around in my Xbox settings. I'm able to set the HDMI audio to 5.1 compressed with a Dolby Digital bitstream format HOWEVER, I'm also able to set the HDMI audio to Bitstream out and then keep the bitstream format at Dolby Digital.
Between the 2, I can't quite hear a difference. What is technically better? 5.1 uncompressed or Bitstream out?
Thank you!
