You'd need to hook up your Xbox to a separate home theater amplifier. I have both Xboxes & PS3 hooked up to mine. HDMI makes it all very easy to hook up. Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver (Black)

Sub is active and does not need an amp but the remaining speakers will need a separate amp.

What are you using it for, music or gaming. The set comes with different adaptors depending on what you plug into. Do not buy this for PS4 or Xbox, it is stereo only and not directional. If you use it for music, the standard cables plug into your TV and the adaptors let you plug into your players. None of the adaptors improve or reduce the quality, they just let you use it for all the different purposes.

You can adjust the volume and gains. I've used this amplifier behind a PC headset jack (Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo W530), Bose PC speaker jack (powered), and behind a Onkyo receiver. If already amplified, it's more important to adjust the gains and volume level to compensate but it's very simple. In all cases the sound qualified was significantly improved and the only time it didn't make a noticeable difference was behind a DAC which says a lot.

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

Yes, I plugged the red and white male ends into their respective left / right female ends (audio out on back of TV); then plugged the male pc speakers, in my case, into the single female end on the device you are inquiring about. It is that simple. Now, having stated this, I do not have control via my TV controller to lower / raise the volume (naturally) of the pc speakers---that must be done manually. However, the end result is that I now have a decent sound rather than the almost ridiculous excuse for sound that these little flat screen tv's have ! :( Good luck to you! :)

No, we didn't put one in, in any case. We connected ours to our media center speakers (5.1 system) and it worked out right away. We did have to get one of those banana plug connector things that connect 2 male banana plugs (sorry I'm the wife, not the tech person) to be able to connect it to the system. We use it with the xbox 360 console for Rocksmith. Not sure if any of this info helps :-/

Yes it comes with the mix amp It shouldn't have any problem connecting to ps3 or ps4 but I have no experience with that I have xb1 and xbox 360

Yes, I have a aux port on my tv and so does the system. So it just plugs into my tv. Sound systems like this are usually used for computers and pcs I never used it for my Xbox just my tv hope this answered you're question. If not go ahead and ask again.

I'm pretty sure the Xbox One only has 1 optical port in the back of the Xbox. But I think you can daisy chain them. Plug the Optical cable from the "in" port of one transmitter into the "out" port of the 2nd transmitter. Then plug the Optical cable from the "in" port of the 2nd transmitter into the optical port of the Xbox One. You guys both should get surround sound with no problems. Have fun wreckin noobs.

All you have to do is connect the tv audio out to the audio (aux) input of the power amp and you can adjust the volume as you desire while listening to headphones at the same time :)

To answer your question yes you will. But by doing so you will no longer have additional support for volume with a game console (Xbox). I used the optical out from the Samsung and put it in the T.V. set. I also used the HDMI out from Samsung component and into the T.V. so that I can access the Blu-Ray/Samsung Apps. Hope this helps.

It's just a 3.5mm (1/8th inch) jack on either side, so as long as you can get audio into it then the source doesn't matter. I have not tried to use something like a microphone headset with it, but I don't imagine that would pass the signals through, and you would need a 4-connector cable on the other end, which I've never seen.It has its own volume controls (which is why I got it, to use with a console's line out) so even if the volume control on your headphones don't work, you can adjust the volume on the amp itself.

Not sure about xbox (I'm a playstation fan boy so I am in familiar) but it attaches by one regular headphone jack. It's not very loud if you run game sound and chat through it but works well if you do game sound via tv and chat only through the head set. Hope this helps. Game On!!

The Xbox1 has a new mic connector (for some stupid reason), so you have to buy an adapter. Then connect the adapter and the green mic to the headset and controller (respectively) and TaDah! This is the adaptor: Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter

no，it comes out from both side，you need to mute TV. but you don't need to setup your headset except the first time you might need to update your controller with the adapter connected.

No its only a speaker selector not an amplifier. There are a lot of options for what you need though. Search ipod speaker or something similar.

I have a no xamp so I can easily use them with my Xbox one. If you don't have a no xamp you'll just plug them into your tv and you'll need a special adapter to use the mic with your Xbox one controller which basically every head set needs
