Im very confused about the new Bitstream HDMI audio option along with the Blu-ray Bitstream pass through options on the new Xbox One X.
Under audio options, there is an option for either uncompressed or Bitstream. From what I understand, if you pick uncompressed, the Xbox decodes the signal into PCM and sends it to your receiver or TV. Bitstream on the other hand, sends the signal untouched to your receiver to process rather than letting the Xbox handle it.
To me, that sounds like if you have a good receiver then Bitstream would be the way to go. Also from what I understand, Bitstream is required for Atmos and other advanced audio options. That said, when searching for Bitstream vs. Uncompressed, Im seeing lots of people saying uncompressed but why?
As for Blu-ray Bitstream, does this setting override the audio output? Can you set the system to uncompressed for games and then Bitstream for Blu-ray? Would that be the best option?
