I recently purchased a Sonos 5.1 home theater system (Playbar, Sub, 2 Play 1s), and I'm currently having issues getting DD 5.1 to play from my Xbox One. I'm well aware of the issues with many TVs not being able to pass through 5.1 from HDMI sources, so I purchased the Monoprice 4x1 Switch (MD-415ARC) like many others recommended.



Currently I have the Monoprice switch plugged into a Samsung UN60H7150 Smart TV. I have my Xbox One, Apple TV, and Verizon cable box plugged into the HDMI ports on the Monoprice switch, and my Playbar plugged into the TOSLINK optical port. I've been able to get 5.1 DD out of my Smart TV apps, Apple TV, and Verizon cable box, but no luck from my Xbox One. The issue I'm having is when I go to Xbox One settings>Display & sound>Audio output>HDMI audio, I cannot select "5.1 uncompressed" or "Bitstream out" - I get an error saying "Check your audio receiver." Additionally, changing Optical audio to "Bitstream out" and "DD" does nothing since I don't have it directly connected to my Playbar.



Has anyone been able to get around this issue with a similar setup? Do you need an audio receiver in order to use 5.1 through HDMI on the Xbox One?



Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
