So every time you switch audio types, you need to go into the settings. What this ends up doing is pushing the dialogue into the left and right speakers. Instead, it embeds two channel audio into the 5.1 or 7.1 container, making it impossible to use Dolby Pro Logic II(x/z) or Dolby Surround to upmix the audio. What is even more infuriating is that it doesn’t automatically switch between 2.0, 5.1 or 7.1 PCM. Unless you select uncompressed PCM, the Xbox will re-encode audio from streaming services. So you ask – what is wrong with the Xbox and what does Apple TV give you? Xbox Issues Audio While I was aware of this to a point, it wasn’t until I connected up the Apple TV 4K that it became clear just how much. I love the Xbox – it is a great gaming device – but my opinion is that it butchers both video and audio. For the casual observer – and listener – they may look and sound the same, but in a home theatre environment with a calibrated display and sound system, there is no contest.
