Xbox One – How to Connect Audio to Separate Speaker

audio-hardwarexbox-one

I'm trying to figure out how to get the audio from Live TV to a separate speaker. I've got the HDMI-out from the Xbox going to a projector instead of a TV and the projector's built-in audio sucks. I've got a decent bluetooth speaker with a 3.5 mm audio-in jack that I'd like to use. The Xbox has an "IR".

So I'm wondering, can I get both audio/video in through the HDMI and send the video out to the projector and the audio out to the speaker's audio-in jack?

Edit: sounds like some pics may help.

Xbox: Xbox One S 500GB

Speaker: Sony SRSX5 Portable NFC Bluetooth Wireless Speaker

Projector: Viewsonic PJD5255

  • does not have bluetooth
  • the projector is mounted on the ceiling so it would be nicer to run an audio cable from the Xbox rather than from the projector's RCA outputs

Best Answer

You could use an optical to analog converter to take the optical audio from the xbox to the speaker.

You would most likely also get audio out of the projector due to the HDMI, and you'd have to turn down the projector volume down manually.
