Xbox One sound through Headset on PC via an Optical Toslink cable (not working)
Go to solution
Solved by Wyllio,
You got it wrong. Toslink optical is a digital format in the form of a light beam. Most toslink cables end in the standard box protecting actual glass/plastic fiber cable around it. What you did was just remove the outer plastic box/border since some Toslink connections use the 3.5mm standard. While the 3.5mm line in at the back of your motherboard is an analog 3.5mm audio jack.
If you want to send audio from your Xbox to your PC that way then you need a DAC that converts the toslink optical into 3.5mm audio out. Then you can use it as a line in.
