I want to be able to use my Astro A50 at night or during some competitive gaming via optical from xb1 and ps4 to the mix amp for the Astros but listen to audio from my 5.1 set up via HDMI when not using the headset.


I dont want to use optical for home theater set up as it does not provide uncompressed 5.1 pcm

Run the optical in to the Astro mixamp, and leave the HDMI to the AVR. At night, just mute your AVR. This is my exact set-up. When I watch TV or a movie, the HDMI sound is used.

Do I have to set up anything in the xb1 settings or ps4 settings when using the headset compared to hdmi via my 5.1 set up


Meaning can I leave HDMI Audio 5.1 on xb1 and optical bitstreamed at 5.1

Yes, on the XBOX ONE there are separate audio settings for HDMI Audio and Optical Audio. Don't have a PS4 so I don't know. I just got the update last night and changed my settings for my Astros.
