![]() I just can’t live with the 1080p visuals on games when I’ve been enjoying 4K for so long. but when the ones I’m seeing for anything close to what I paid for this one are only half the spec, and more costly, I’d prefer to stick to what I already have. I know, the easiest solution is to just get a 4K passthrough atmos soundbar. Would it be possible to use some type of HDMI splitter so that I can connect the XBOX to the HDTV for 4K, but also send another wire in to the soundbar so that I get the full benefit of Atmos through HDMI.

There is another socket on the back or the soundbar, which looks like a 3.5mm headphone jack. but then my TV is no longer connected to the soundbar. I’m wondering, is there a way of working around the 4K limitation? I can connect the optical from the XBOX to the soundbar, and then connect the HDMI out from the XBOX in your the rear of the TV.
