UE40MU6400 Can I passthrough Xbox SX HDMI audio to old Denon avr via spdif?

[Gr1f]

Hi folks,
As I don't sue my Denon AVR for video anymore as it's not 4k I simply connected Xbox one direct to TV via HDMI and then connected spdif to the Denon AVR.
With Xbox Series X there's no Optical out. Is it possible to simply connect TV spdif to Denon AVR and get 5.1?

So

Xbox SX –> HDMi –> UE40MU6400
UE40MU6400 –>Spdif –> Denon AVR

I know I can get a splitter but wondering if this might work instead?

Your help always very much appreciated!

Hmm, I think I answered some of my own Question Seems to work but only offering me options for PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS Neo 25. DTS is greyed out.

I'll see what happens when I reboot everything

PCM = stereo
Dolby = Dolby 5.1
DTS Neo 25 = stereo upmix to 5.1

if you get audio lag with Dolby switch to PCM.

Ok figured it out. It does seem to work. The Xbox series x needed to be set to DTS. Now the Avr is receiving dts. Happy days
