Hi, new to the forums and thanks in advance if anyone can help a noob out! I
've recently purchased an Xbox one x and an LG c7 4k tv but not quite ready to upgrade my don't str dn1040 amp quite yet.
My problem being that I can't pass my xbox through the amp due to it not being 4k compatible.(it just outputs 1080 video -which kinda defeats the object of the initial upgrade- but i do still get sound coming through)
I've tried to plug my Xbox direct into the tv to get 4k hdr graphics which is great, but then i lose audio) to get around this i thought id use optical from the Xbox to the amp (and also tried optical from the t.v. to the amp) but i can't seem to get the sound to work at all either way.
Im not tech savvy, so i could be missing something really simple like a setting on the amp to select the optical sound...but I've no idea how to do it.
Can anyone shed some light to what i may be missing in easy to understand laymans terms?
