you can actually see the signal on the optical spdif if it's working like this one around 1'20"

if you are not getting this signal, there's a problem with your source... go into configs and make sure you turn it on... xbox right? should be settings in there to enable optical out. that's the likely culprit.

also on the soundbar, i'm sure it's obvious, but there's probably a toggle for the input selector... just checking

Try another optical receiving device and see if it works with your TV and optical cable. If still not working, try a new cable. &c. Maybe someone that's knows something about S/PDIF will chime in soon.

Thought about that, but have nothing else that accepts Optical In to check it. I appreciate your help though, thanks.

Cant really tell what you mean by see the signal at 1'20"? If you mean see the light coming out the other end of the cord, then yes I do have that when I have it plugged into the optical out port.

On my XB1, checked the optical out multiple times and it is set to on in the sound settings. And yes, I put the sound bar on the right input selector

lol

I think this bothers me so much, cause I am usually extremely tech savvy and never have setup problems or am good at working around them, and this I can't figure out.
