so, I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly, But this has nothing to do with my audio set up. I've been playing madden 21 fine on the Xbox One, and on the Series X all other games audio is presented as expected. I should not have to play the game in Stereo when having a multi Channel dolby Atmos set up, which works for every game, including Madden 21 on current gen. When I mentioned getting some commentary in stereo, that is not permanent. After a period of time, even in stereo, the commentary is gone. There appears to be something in the code of the next gen version of the game that's causing this.
Just FYI, not to be an A-hole about this, but to put it into context, I'm an audio engineer, and have worked with multichannel encoding/decoding since the early to mid 90s. On.a hunch, i switched to the HDMI cables the Xbox One was connected with hoping that maybe the cables coming with the series X might have been the culprit, but no change...And again, this is only affecting Madden 21 Next Gen. Sound on every other game has been fine...Sound in madden 21 Xbox one is fine.
I've seen a number of posts online with this same description of an issue, some saying the resolution is to change to Uncompressed Stereo...That is not a solution. There is no reason you should have to play a next generation game on a 4K system in stereo. And for my situation, that's not a long lived solution anyway.
