I am thinking of buying this with the Dell U2414H but I am wondering if it will work by connecting my PC via DisplayPort and my Xbox via HDMI

1.) Maybe look at the 2515H. ;-)

2.) As fas as I could find (a German Amazon review) you cannot get sound over HDMI. So your XBOX idea wouldn't work. You can only connect it via USB or an audio line-in.  So if your XBOX has headphone-jack, maybe you could hook it up to that.

I might be wrong though. Not a whole lot of information there...

|| Sapphire Pulse RX 6700 10G || MSI B450i Gaming PLUS MAX Wifi  || Kingston NV1 2TB m.2 ||  Corsair SF600 || Intertech IM 1 |||
Peripherals: Sennheiser PC  360 G4ME || AOC CQ27G2U || Viewsonic PX701HD || Keychron V1 || Logitech G303 Shroud Edition||| Laptop: XPS 13 2in1 7390 || Steam Deck 256 GB (64GB Version) ||| Cameras: Fujifilm XH-1 || Fujifilm X100T

Thanks for getting back. I know that both video and audio can go over HDMI. I was just wondering if you knew whether the soundbar being connected via USB would change anything.

 

PS, U2515 is a bit out of budget!

Well a person on Amazon wrote that using it via USB grabbed the signal via USB. So like a USB speaker.
