Reddit mentions of AutoWT Digital Coaxial Toslink Adapter with Optical Cable, 3.5mm Audio Cable and USB Power Cable

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011O0N0UQ?vs=1 here is a optical audio to 3.5mm I've seen that the usb soundcards only did chat but this is a sure thing.

Besides HDMI output which has video and audio in one cable, the Xbox One (original and S) has an Optical Audio output jack. If you need to convert this to a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, Amazon has a ton of options for adapters, so I would do some research on the site for best selling / highest rated. Here is an example - optical audio in, RCA out, comes with an RCA-to-headphone jack cable so you could plug in headphones, PC speakers, etc.

Sorry if this is way more complicated than necessary but just letting you know these cheap adapters exist for sure. I like this one because of all of the extra cables it comes with. Hope this helps!

PS - if you use this, be sure to go into Xbox audio settings and enable the "optical" audio output.

PPS - you will also lose surround sound when using this device. but if you're just connecting to stereo headphones, a single speaker etc. this should suffice.

I'm not sure why he deleted it but this is what he linked

I recently purchased it and it works great. I taped the little remote to my TV remote to keep them together haha.

You'll need to get a digital audio converter like this also if you haven't already.

I hope this helps you out because it was a pain for me to spend so long trying to find something to work!

I'm struggling to get these setup correctly. Here is what I bought.

I bought this switcher: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RF8F212/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this adaptor:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011O0N0UQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I run a cable from the Playbar to the switcher. Then from the switcher to 1 - the convertor which is connected to the turntable and 2 - the TV.

But I'm not getting any sound at all with this setup.

Something like this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011O0N0UQ?psc=1

You did help bro thank you so much for a straight answer but I came across something else. What do you think about this using the optical audio port in the back using a optical audio to rca adapter then the Bluetooth transmitter receiver. The only problem I have with Bluetooth transmitters and receivers is I don't think you can listen and talk at the same time while gaming you can hear party chat but I don't think you can talk or can you ?? Check this out turtle beach elite 800 use the optical port in the back

Would this work?

Are you buying the one with the mix amp? If so any modern xbox one controller can just plug in the mic cord for chat and use the mix amp aux out to plug into your dac, which you can run into your xbox's optical port. Or I would just buy these guys with this mic. You can then use this DAC. That dac has all the cables you would need to get up and running. But I would seriously consider that second setup to the Astros.

Not sure why you were downvoted on this, however male to male like you linked might not work. Furthermore, it keeps the signal in optical format.

But maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/AutoWT-Digital-Coaxial-Toslink-Adapter/dp/B011O0N0UQ/ref=pd_sim_147_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9WG2QWV4B7HB62W0FH5Q

It converts the toslink optical to rca, and then converts the rca to 3.5mm stereo. It's a bit convoluted, but it's sold as a single package. I dunno, but that might work!

You need a few things, depending on what kind of speakers you've got. I'm assuming you are running normal, single input 3.5mm PC speakers.

As far as a headset do you mean you want to share your PC headset ?

You need this to use a standard PC headset

Hey, maybe we can do better and simpler than Bluetooth. Aside from Bluetooth compression messing with the sound quality, it can introduce lipsyncing issues due to lag. I always like a wired connection myself whenever possible.

You should be able to plug something like this into the TV's optical output, plug the M-Audio monitors into this, and then control the volume w/ the TV remote.

https://www.amazon.com/AutoWT-Digital-Coaxial-Toslink-Adapter/dp/B011O0N0UQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1523321294&sr=8-2&keywords=optical+to+audio+adapter&dpID=51QpJCAEKNL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Only reason I say "should" is because on my Sharp TV, the volume level of the optical output is fixed by default. You have to flip a setting in the TV's menu to allow the optical output volume to be controlled by the volume setting. I looked in your TV's manual but couldn't find any information about whether that's the case... it's possible the volume level on your optical output isn't controlled by the volume setting. But hey, at $12, maybe it's worth taking a shot.

Worst case scenario, you could add something like this between the optical-to-analog gizmo and the M-Audios:

Looks kind of shady, but seems to have positive reviews, so I would be reasonably confident in it. Have not used it myself just to be clear.

Ok, to fix your phantom power dilemma, try this: http://www.amazon.com/InnoGear%C2%AE-Condenser-Microphone-Recording-Equipment/dp/B00KAPGLQC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462236977&sr=8-1&keywords=phantom+power+box

Then as far as audio, listen to people when they say keep it coming from HDMI. Or you can turn it OFF the HDMI in OBS and use the mixer USB but you'll need to use something like an hdmi audio demuxer to bring it into the switch OR even better, run it out the TOSLink digtal port to the mixer with something like this:

I live in an apartment and don't have an a/v receiver or surround sound setup. I run optical out of console and into a wireless headset base (Turtle Beach X4.1). Then, I use the 3.5mm jack on the headset base with corded headphones. No lag. Sounds good. Doesn't bother neighbors. Fairly cheap.

Something like this should work the same way.
