Obviously the Series X has no digital out for sound which is causing my aging set up a problem.

With my Xbone I simply used HDMI through my Yamaha YSP 2200 soundbar and then into my TV.

The 'TV' is actually a 65" 4K Iiyama I picked up for next to nothing off a mate who was decommissioning the IT for a company that went under.

However the old soundbar won't pass through 4k that I can work out, using the same cables direct from the Xbox to the display works OK so I don't think it's a cable issue.

The TV has no digital out, so I can't pass sound back to the soundbar via Optical.

So I'm left with a choice of 4k and crap sound from the TV or 1080p and sound from the soundbar, which is my preference of the 2.

I'll live with that if I have to, but without spending good money on a new soundbar or TV, are there any proven, cheapish (<£100) signal splitters that might do the job?
