Xbox One Surround Sound Headset?

[watersilver]

Looking for a new headset now that they are supported, and I did a bit of research on the surround sound headset options. Although this information isn't very easy to find (for some reason), it seems that Dolby Digital isn't supported by the headset stereo adapter, but it IS supported through the optical output in the rear of the system? If that's the case, would I not be able to take a headset with multiple analog jacks (Razer Tiamat, for example), put the microphone jack into the stereo adapter on the controller, and then find some kind of optical adapter to hook the rest of the channels up to the output in the back of the system to get 5.1 or 7.1 through the headset? If so, do such adapters even exist?

Honestly don't know, might have to look that up. I guess sc_shark or Kn1ghtmare can answer that better.

This is a good question, but I've never considered doing something like this before. If you wait a bit longer, there will probably be a patch come out (or another adapter) to enable Dolby Digital capabilities.
