How to Connect Speaker to Xbox Series X in 3 Ways.

- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- Amazing stuff for connecting speaker to the Xbox Series X. There is no lag at all. I can say this is a must have gadget for those XSX owners. But hopefully there will be a 4K 120hz support on their (any brand) upcoming new models, at the moment this device supports only 1440p 120hz (sorry, 4K 60 was mentioned on the video). Actually there are more ways to connect next gen consoles to speaker including wireless. I just make a separate video for Xbox Series X. 👍👉: • How to Connect Bluetoo...
*Just want you to know that I made a mistake writing the "Optical-In" instead of "Optical out" on the adapter from the 1st way of connecting the speaker.

Here's what I did to use my Bluetooth soundbar which also has an aux input and it works great:
1) Use a second controller and plug it into the series x using a USB cable so it doesn't turn off after 15 minutes or so
2) Connect a aux cable from the 3.5 headphone jack in the controller to the soundbar.
3) Use another controller to play your games.
Crazy that we have to do this in 2023.
Should not have to do this Microsoft are so ridiculous
I guess I got lucky or unlucky however you view it, but I just use an aux cord to hookup my system and it's plugged into my monitor
Ikr it’s absolutely pathetic I’ve broken the wire of my speakers because I have to connect them to my controller 😡😭
I have an aux port on my monitor and a aux port on my pc speaker too but it doesn’t work wih my xbox serie s can you help me about this thanks you !
Thanks man, out of 80 videos I've seen this is the only one I've understood.
Thanks a lot. I'm really glad I could help❤️
thank you for this video! this saved me about $150 because I was about to buy another monitor
I'm really happy I could help. Thanks to you also.❤️🙏
Does it support 5.1 audio?
You don't need this, save your money. This will also cut you to 60hz if your tv is capable of hitting 120. Connect your series x/s like normal to the high speed HDMI port to your TV. Run an optical cable from your tv into your soundbar and it will work without cutting refresh rate. Or you can buy a cheap digital converter that has 3.5 and optical hookups and run the optics cable from the tv to the converter and 3.5 or rcas to your sound system IF your sound system is old and doesn't support optical or HDMI. This will provide you with quality sound and keep your 4k 120z. Figured I'd help out since it worked for me.
Thanks a lot for sharing. But I tried it, it supports 1440p @120. Just FYI.
It says maxed out at 4k 60hz but maybe it does. Are there high speed ports on the converter or is it because you have the high speed cables?
@@rosefuneral89 4k@60 is what I know as well. I'm not an expert, But when I tried it works. I'm using hdmi 2.0 on the other side and 2.1 on the other side. Don't remember which side is which.
Hey mate great vid! Just wondering if you know would this unit get 120hz at 1440p? I want to connect my soundbar to my monitor but the aux on monitor is not great and atm I get some crackling every now and again, but if I can’t keep my Xbox series S at 120fps I think I’ll just have to deal with the crackling yunno. Or 1080p would that get 120hz? Thanks a lot
Yes. The adapter supports 1440p @120hz.
This is more complicated than operating a fking spaceship
Hi, so I just purchased the Logitech Z533 speakers to connect to my Xbox series x and LG ultragear monitor, the only audio thing for the LG is a 3.5 jack and I tried to use that to connect to my speaker but it won’t do any sound. Help??
Please make sure you plugged it completely or make sure your cable is TRS type. Are you using 3.5mm male to male cable?
Happy New Year to you.. I purchased the Z407 Logitech Speaker system for my Xbox Series X running with a Samsung G7 Odyssey monitor - as Xbox or monitor are not Bluetooth enabled, connected 3.5mm jack from speakers to monitor but no sound - please help?
Are you using TRS 3.5mm aux cable?
@@RawlandUy it’s the standard male to male 3.5mm that came in the box? They are definitely working as I tested them with my phone via Bluetooth with music
Thanks for the video! I was wondering if you know how if you can adjust the volume? With my sound bar it only has volume controls on the actual sound bar and they do not work when I try to adjust the volume. I was looking through the Xbox settings hoping I could find a way to lower the volume through software or something. Any suggestions? Thank you
But you don't have anything to do in the Xbox settings when it comes to the volume adjustments. It's on your soundbar. It might be on a different input settings please double check. The setting on the soundbar must depend on the cable you used.
@@RawlandUy thank you for replying! I ended up going to Costco and bought a Bose mini soundlink I used the same setup as you did in the video and now I have awesome audio. I didn’t even know about an audio extractor till you so thank you!
@@Dckless69420 many thanks. Very glad I could help❤️🙏
@@RawlandUy thank you! I appreciate the help and also the awesome videos. Definitely subbed and excited for upcoming videos!
@@Dckless69420 really do appreciate. ❤️🙏
Great video! Its annoying that I needed buy an adapter cuz of Microsoft, but you helped so much!
Thanks a lot. 'Really glad you like it.
It won’t work if I use the Ultra High Speed cable that came with the Series X console? Nor a 2.1?
It will still work. The most important thing to remember is, it does 4k@60 and 2k@120. Just don't use hdmi below 2.0.
How crazy is it that we pay over $500 for a system in 2022/2023 and it does not have bluetooth capabilities.
You're right. Hopefully soon, both Microsoft and Sony will do something about it and by that time it will be even more better.
Nice tutorial, I just have 2 questions:
Will this work on Xbox series s?
Does this make the graphics of the Xbox any slower?
Thanks for asking. It will work with Xbox Series S. The most important thing to remember is, it does 4k@60 and 2k@120 only. Just don't use HDMI below 2.0. It does not affect the graphics.
So my speaker has a AUX wire coming out of it with no place to input a 3.5 mm . How can I get the speakers to work with the Xbox? Thanks in advance!
Plug it into the controller
My monitor does not have external audio will one of these work with a soundbar?
Yes, if your soundbar have aux or optical or even rca input.
How should I connect my CR3-XBT to my Xbox Series X, please, very confused?
I can say it all depends on your preference. If wired, just choose any of those mentioned on the video. Your CR3 xbt has rca and 3.5mm aux input so you can use the ones I mentioned on the video. And if you wish to go wireless, try the Bluetooth feature of your speaker. My other video might be possible👉ua-cam.com/video/X-bqSpFgORY/v-deo.html
ohh i think that is the solution of my problem with my soundbar, but does the concept with a xbox one x too? Thank you for the informative video very much. 🙏🏻👍🏻😇
Thanks a lot. But the Xbox One X has already optical output. All you need is an optical cable if your speaker has it also. Otherwise you can use an optical to auxialliary adapter as an alternative. And don't forget that your TV or monitor might have audio out port also which you can also use.
What would be the way to connect the audio engine a2+ to my Xbox series x. I also have a monitor but does not have optical port but does have 3,5mm
You can use the 3rd way on this video. 3.5mm connection from the extractor then the other end with 2 male RCA to the a2+ input. Or try to connect directly from the monitor to the A2+ using the same cable.
Would both have the same sound quality
I don't have the a2+ but in my speaker I couldn't say any difference.
Hey what about if I am connecting my Xbox series x to a pc with a Samsung soundbar the speaker only has fiber optical port my Samsung gaming monitor has hdmi port can this device work out for me…
Thanks for asking. But let me know what do you mean by PC. Do you mean PC monitor?
Yes I have a Samsung gaming curved monitor that has hdmi and aux cord built in and my Samsung soundbar speaker only has optical connector no hdmi I am trying to get sound on my new Xbox series x console so will this device work for me the audio extractor orei
@@arash_misses_papa Yes, a lot of cables but worth it.
I tried using the Orei audio extractor, it worked fine at first, but it stopped working a lil while after because i was not getting any video! Then I was told that if the Xbox is connected to anything in between the console and the tv could prevent video
Please double check the connection. The connectors might not plugged properly. And it should be plugged correctly/accordingly. It's not because of the adapter.
My speakers have AUX 3.5 port and my monitor also have a 3.5 aux port, can I simply plug my speakers to the monitor with a 3.5 cable ?
Yes. Just make sure the port on the monitor labelled as Audio OUT and the one on the speaker supposed to be Audio IN. It's usually this way anyway.
@@RawlandUy Thx ! Hope the sound will be good !
@@masterchief9148 how did it turn out bro? I wanna try the same thing!
I have a 5.1 sound bar but it’s not showing on my Xbox series x help
Thanks you reaching out. It doesnt have to show on Xbox. You can just connect whichever way is compatible and available ports your sound bar has.
So what way would be best to connect my Nommo Chroma from Razer to my Xbox One X? I don’t understand much so some help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks for asking. You might wanna use optical to aux adapter or else you can use 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable if your monitor or TV has this 3.5mm aux audio output. My other video might help further👉: ua-cam.com/video/dqJV4u_Rig4/v-deo.html
@@RawlandUy That helped a lot actually but there’s still one more question I must ask before I make any purchases. There is a USB that is hooked to one of the speakers of the Razer Nommo Chroma 2.0. This cable isn’t something that’s removable, it’s a part of the speaker in the form of a USB Cable. The inside of this cable is green instead of the traditional Blue. Does this cable have any significance to me in terms of connecting it and sound? The speakers also come with a 3.5mm wire. What type of adapter do I need for this thing?
@@jaimebatista4624 thanks again for asking. Your purpose is to connect to your Xbox. So either to those I mentioned you can use. Regarding the USB, it's designed only for PCs. And regarding to the color, in my knowledge the green was the signature of razer for which I'm not sure yet what version. And the blue is for USB 3.0.
@@RawlandUy Thank you! Am not very knowledgeable when it comes to wiring and electronics so your help really helps :)
@@jaimebatista4624 but thanks to you as well for asking and watching my video. 'Really appreciate!
Im using a monitor to play games with no way to connect anything to audio how do i connect my xbox series x to speakers
It's either from this 1. hdmi audio extractor, 2. From the controller 3. From the monitor or TV audio out port.
Dude same been going crazy.
if u want to use your speakers to hear the game but u want to chat with your team, is there any way to do that?
No. Never do that. There is no way to use a mic with a lot of sound around you. If you want to chat with the game audio, only with a gaming headset. Or an Earbuds or non-gaming Bluetooth headsets with any external mic like the lavalier mics connected to you controller. You can find it on my separate video.👉 ua-cam.com/video/LA2bcrmf3I8/v-deo.html
Has anyone been able to hit 4k using this device, because I have tried on a 4k monitor but says capped at 1080p. PLEASE HELP
Are you using hdmi 2.0 or 2.1?
Please help me. I have monitor without speakers but it has audio output. Can I just connect Xbox Series S to my monitor via hdmi cable and connect my monitor to Speakers? Or do I have to get the adapter? Did you understand what I'm trying to say, please?
Definitely you don't need the adapter. All you need is the cable. I believed it's the 3.5mm male to male. If your speaker has that port also.
hey, have u solved your problem? can u connect the audio?
@@yogidarmawan4974 I haven't got a console yet 🤣
@@MohammadAmr7 lol
I wouldn't be able to game on my Xbox in 4k with 120hz with this Connected would I?
No, with using this adapter, its only 60hz if you want to go 4K. And 120hz if you want to go 1440p.
I have the Cyber Acoustics Bluetooth Speakers with LED Lights and the LG 43LJ5000 TV can I conect them to my Xbox series X? My tv speakers are old and I wanted to upgrade by adding the speakers and subwoofer will it work?
Thanks for asking. Please let me know which model of cyber acoustic is your speaker.
@@RawlandUy it’s the (CA-SP34BT) model
@@bennyvillezcas9717 yes I believed the audio Line-In of this speaker is RCA. You just need to use the cables with RCA connectors.
Benny does your model support 120 hz output 4k
Is it necessary for the 3.5 jack ?
If thats the only option you have.
if i have a sound bar that im trying to use with my monitor and xbox series x, will i still be able to run games at 1440p 120hz using the audio extractor?
Yes, instead of connecting it directly to your xsx, connect it to your TV or monitor to enable its capability of having 1440p 120hz rr.
@@RawlandUy I have the same question, my monitor just have 2 hdmi ports and I have my Xbox SX connected too the second port, what i need to do? Thanks
@@bernype8108 if you want to connect speaker without affecting the refresh rate, you don't need to use the Xbox and the monitor hdmi ports neither. If your monitor has aux port, then that's the one you need to use.
@@RawlandUy thank you very much Sr. 🙏🏻
@@RawlandUy but I need the converter? Or just an aux cable connected from the sound bar to the monitor? Apparently that way is not working for me :(
I am planning to get a soundbar, I have a question regarding the setup:
Xbox Series X which runs at 4K/120Hz and Dolby Vision or HDR on LG Nanocell TV
I'd like to purchase a soundbar now. If I am not mistaken, ARC or eARC should do the trick
The connection would be like this
Xbox Series X -> LG Nanocell TV (HDMI 2.1 Port)
and then
LG Nanocell TV -> Soundbar (z.B. LG SPD7Y) (HDMI 2.1 eArc)
In theory my TV should then still show the 4K/120Hz form the Xbox but the sound should come out of the soundbar (if set right in the TV)
Am I correct?
Yes, and I believed your TV and soundbar are both ARC/eARC compatible. You just need to set the functions from both to be on HDMI ARC/eARC.
How do I connect speakers if they have usb-c ?
Thanks for asking. Xbox has no support for audio output through USB as of the moment. Though, I'm also still searching what is the possibility.
Had to watch this in 2x speed. Wish there was a 3x button.
Will plugging a USB speaker into the xbox series x directly work as well?
No. Xbox's usb doesnt support audio.
Thanks for the video, but could they just add a bloody optical point on that consol?? Very disappointed... I was about to go and get one used from someone, but now having a second thought.. such a shame!!
Yes. Until now it's a huge question also for me. Why they remove it?
@@RawlandUy i think they want to go the arc road.
@@Massivo3880 thanks. But still more simple and straight forward with the optical or If they add an aux audio out instead also.
Would this work for a Sonos Roam
Did you ever figure this out I’m trying to do the same thing
I’m worried that the audio extractor may cause latency issues? Any signs of this on 120fps anyone???
It doesn't have any issues when it comes to latency. It also runs 120fps on 1440p. Just make sure you're using hdmi 2.0 minimum.
@@RawlandUy Noice… impressive lil piece of tech thanks for the video!
@exceedinglyaverage1179 thanks a lot. Glad you like it.😊
Hi, i have a series s and I'm going to buy a monitor with a 3.5mm jack also I got in mind buying some speakers so I can hear the audio from the Xbox, my question is will it work if i just connect the speakers to the monitor ?
Yes, as long as the speaker has a 3.5mm audio in port. Or an RCA audio input port, you just need to use the cable from 3. 5mm male to 2 RCA males.
@@RawlandUy Would it work with USB C ?
@@Teilzeit02 can you specify how would you want to do it. From where is the USB c coming from.
Tried this on XBOX Series X. Audio and sound was on and off. Returned it same day as received. I have a quality DAC, that works fine on PS5 & so does USB headset. XBOX is really disappointing. I expected it to work better on XBOX than PS4 or PS5. Microsoft need to sort their shit out.
Yes, I keep thinking still why.
Why doesn’t it say it can do 1440p@120Hz on the website?
Not sure with the company but when I tried its working.
Ok thanks!
Grazieeeeeeeeeeeeee!
You're most welcome!
Does this also work for the S? Thanks
Yes.
Thanks also do you recommend any specific hdmi 2.0 cables?
@@owenjohnson1974 there are many good hdmi 2.0s. It's only up to you which one you will choose. I have used many brands already without any issues. Like Amazon basics, Ugreen and Vention.
@@RawlandUy OK thanks a lot I really appreciate it
Thanks to you as well. You put some interest on my video. I hope you like it.
Could I not just put the usb of my speakers into my Xbox ?
I am wondering this as well. Anyone know?
Xbox series x doesn't support usb audio direct....I have a USB speaker and xsx and it doesn't work.
The Xbox USB doesn't support audio.
I have a Logitech g560 speakers does it work?
Thank you for asking. I believed the G560 has a 3.5mm port (audio-in) on the subwoofer. You can use the 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable from the Orei adapter.
@@RawlandUy I have an LG ultra gear 32GQ950-B and I just follow the instructions and plug it in?
@@RawlandUy also can i use a HDMI 2.1 cable?
@@ericzhu3708 Yes you can use 2.1 but this Orei adapter is only maxed at 4K 60hz but supports 1440p 120hz.
@@ericzhu3708 Yes you can. You have a nice monitor by the way. I was actually looking for 32 inches 4k and this also catches my attention. Though my main target is the Eve Spectrum Glossy 27 inches. So I think twice of the 32 inches 4K from the LG vs the Glossy screen and thinnest bezel from Eve.
Does this work for 1440p 120hz
Yes it is.
@@RawlandUy I thought it said in the video Orei maxed out to 60hz@4k?
Yes, just after the video I tried and it was working. Just make sure to use HDMI 2.0 or 2.1. Apology, it shouldn't be like this. But I already uploaded the video. Though it's also fine to say maxed at 4K. But only 60hz.
HDMI audio extractors always have noticeable latency.
Thanks for the comment. But it's not on my experience.
@@RawlandUy guarantee you haven’t tested it properly. I’m an AV director and have configured many setups. I’ve also worked with companies that claim zero latency, but it’s not accurate depending on purpose.
Play the raw source in one monitor with a direct audio feed, and then the stream in a second monitor with extracted audio, and I guarantee there is more than 40ms of latency between the audio.
@@raredesign thanks again, I just really don't find any delay especially when someone is talking on the video. But then again, its just my own opinion. But then again thanks a lot for the comment.
@@RawlandUy To clarify, this is because when the video and audio are provided through the extractor, they are both delayed, so appear in sync. For gaming 40ms is acceptable, and even 100ms of input lag is considered playable, which is how online multiplayer or remote gameplay often function, but if you’re sensitive to it, or if you already have another device that adds latency and it’s compounded, or if you run the video separately, such as through an NDI interface, projector, or SDI converter, and then rely on the extractor for just audio, the latency the extractor creates will be very apparent.
@@raredesign Thanks a lot for sharing. It's very much appreciated. If I'm going to be asked, I would still prefer this than the Bluetooth connectivity.
Does no work on PC gaming monitors that do not support ARC or optical.
Yes, this is one of the use of this adapter. For those TVs which does not support ARC. On the other note, 'not sure if there are monitors which supports ARCs already.
@@RawlandUy What I'm saying I guess the rest of my post didn't show up that unless this audio converter isn't 4k ready or Hdr ready it will only work at 1080p. You lose 4k and hdr.
5.1?
Thanks for asking. Since you have the freedom already to connect any speaker using the optical connection, it should work.
So wait, I have to buy an adapter to connect my optical soundbar?
Here is the thing, I use a gaming monitor which does not have optical or EArc connections mainly for the hight hertz. Microsoft decided to get rid of Optical, did not even include Earc support or an adapter for sound. No DP hook up support and only 1 USB hookup on the front. What was Microsoft thinking? I know hundreds of people who want optical hook up. They don't want to buy new sound sources.
Thanks for asking. You can get this adapter if you have just regular speakers. But if you have the complete sound system(ARC, eARC), you dont need this adapter. You just need to make sure all are hdmi 2.1 capable to get the full feature.
This product does not handle 4k nor does it allow high refresh rate monitors.
Thanks for the comment. It supports 4K@60hz or 1440p@120hz.
loosing 120hz and dolby vision, fail
Thanks for the comment. But this supports 120hz @1440.
@@RawlandUy so not 4K 120hz and Dolby vision
@@GianniTamai not 4K. But I believed someone will still release like this which supports 4k. I didn't had a chance to try with Dolby yet.
Dam Imma sell my series s cuz this is really stupid.
You have a point. But have hopefully Xbox will release something upgraded model anytime now bringing back any audio ports.
What a joke
Why would anyone want to cap their system that’s capable of 120hz Down to 60hz by using this adapter. Most TVs have an optical connection on the back of their TVs, just run the optical from tv to your soundbar/speaker. this video makes it way more complicating more cables and the worst part, capping your 600$ system to half of its capabilities. If you don’t have the gear to support your series x then don’t upgrade to it. Simple, stick to the Xbox one X and wait on the series X until you have all the right gear to take full advantage of its capabilities (to all the viewers).
Thanks a lot for sharing. You're absolutely right. This is just in case your using a display, monitor/TV which doesn't have those ports.
My odyssey G7 only has one hdmi output and thats for the Xbox, not everyone is using their consoles on a TV
Oh and by the way, it's still supports 1440p @120hz.
Wtf is this
my friend this is the guy from fortnite
