I personally CAN CONFIRM that X Box One X, set with HDMI to TV and Optical to BOSE SOLO 5 (same Dolby Digital only support as Sonos) CAN TRANSCODE DTS TO DD 5.1 in The fly.
I tried
Audio option HDMI Bitstream
Bitstream DD 5.1
Deadpool Blu ray that has only DTS OST
X Box trough HDMI to TV
TV via optical to soundbar
TV LG OLED B6V that has 5.1 passtrough
All OK.

As a counter proof I set Bitstream to DTS and resulting audio was mute.

This is X Box one X but S is The same.

Hope this can help

    Good info!. I use a Samsung Blu-ray BD-F6500 and this transcodes DTS to DD 5.1 on the fly and also supplies DD 5.1 on it's Netflix app.

    Update. Tested also with a blu ray DTS HD MA. Same thing. Completely converted info DD 5.1 and mute if I set Bitstream to DTS.
    At The same time I’ve also tested same things with PS4 PRO, that does NOT convert it. I have to set PCM to hear a DTS OST even if I set Bitstream Dolby to PS4.

    Virtually yes. Pratically since my personal test I haven’t found a 100% confirmation... someone say yes, someone say no. I definetely say: “YES THEY (X BOX ONEs) CAN

    I've had an "OG" Xbox One and now an Xbox One X, both have had this functionality. I had heard that the Xbox One S didn't, but I've never owned one so I don't know first-hand.

    I've not noticed any lip sync issues... though I think my TV has a delay setting to allow minimizing any lip sync issues, and maybe that has something to do with it (though I don't remember setting it; maybe it set it when I selected that I'm using the optical output?).

    But I've not had any issues with gaming either, and I know that if my TV were delayed too much, that would be a major issue (I would be responding to something I see, but I'm seeing it x milliseconds after the console actually sent that frame of video; and then I don't see the result of my action for that same x milliseconds, so I make a correction too late, etc. etc.)

    And I also do plenty of streaming from my Xbox. While I have a Smart TV, I actually have it connected to a separate network than most of my other stuff. I don't necessarily trust Samsung's device security, which is why. So I stream stuff from my Plex server through my Xbox instead of using the TV's built-in Plex app. I also use the Sling TV app on my Xbox, since Sling doesn't have an app for Samsung TVs yet.
