Does anyone know if the 360 will output 44.1kHz audio from a CD over the digital output, or will it "upconvert" it to 48kHz?


I am asking because I need to update my home theatre receiver, and the only way to do it is by burning the firmware wav onto a CD as an audio CD, and plying it into the receiver via optical of coax audio input. I tried my blu-ray player, but it did not work, apparently because it was spitting out 48kHz. So dos the 360 do 44.1? If so, is it default, or is there something i need to set?


Otherwise I will need to find an authorized dealer in my town to do it...

since you already tried using your blu-ray player is there anythinhg to lose tying your 360? I'd throw in a audio CD and check on my reciver but its hooked via HDMI at the moment

That's a really good question. And I sure as hell haven't tested it.


Try this: hook up the receiver and xbox with the optical cable, disable any Dolby Digital output from the Xbox and use stereo only, then pop in a cd. Everything should be output as PCM from that point so any cd should output with no modification. I would hope, anyway.

The 360 could still be doing sample rate conversion but that would be pretty pointless, imho. Guess you'll just have to give it a shot.


Good luck with that!

Not at all, but I wantedto find out before getting an optical audio cable to test this, as they are pretty expensive. Then I remembered Monoprice.com. So I should be able to test this when i get back from my week-long holiday.


It was more a question on whether there was a way to set up the xbox to spit out 44.1kHz, since if it doesn't automatically with CDs, I wouldn't know how to try and get it to do so. But I'll give it a try.


Thanks, you two
