Dolby Digital Support coming to Xbox One!

The popular surround sound system company, Dolby Digital, will be pushing to new frontiers on Xbox One in March.

 

Dolby Digital has been an incredibly well-known and high money grossing optical audio company for quite a long time, but most Xbox One users were left without the option to use Dolby Digital on their new console. The new march update will put these complaints to ease finally as support will be added. Currently, the only out-putter the system allows is DTS Digital Surround, or another lesser known option, using uncompressed stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 audio, using HDMI. Adding Dolby Digital would allow a more diverse variety of headsets for Xbox One users as well, which could finally persuade some to buy the console and/or purchase gold to play online.

The update is scheduled for an early March window, being sure to release before the March 11th launch of Microsoft's newest hit exclusive, Titanfall.

But...

What's the point in support for Dolby Digital if there's like, one or two audio outputs?

 

So you're saying there's going to be another Xbox One that supports 4, 4.1, 5, 5.1, 6, 6.1, 7 and 7.1 audio, or that there's going to be some new ports magically growing in the back?

 

I don't know if there's any consideration of the lack of high-end hardware compliance in a new model of the Xbox One, but it'd be nice if it directly had the 3 3.5mm audio jacks with support for 5.1, and better yet 4 3.5mm for those who would like true 7.1

 

Splitters seem to work with the Xbox 360 in delivering surround sound; I've heard many people saying that it doesn't seem to deliver in all channels correctly with Xbox One.

Derp?
