A few days ago, Microsoft officially announced the specs of the upcoming Xbox Series X. At Microsoft’s Game Stack Live online live broadcast, an obvious S / PDIF interface appeared on the rear panel of the Xbox Series X. This interface is absent from the renders which is quite confusing. Nevertheless, Microsoft has now clarified that the new Xbox Series X console will not include a dedicated S / PDIF audio interface. The interface of the final version of the Xbox Series X only includes a network cable interface, HDMI output, storage expansion card interface, and three USB 3.1 interfaces

Therefore, the audio of the new Xbox console can only be output through the HDMI interface. Microsoft has previously confirmed that its new Xbox will use the latest HDMI 2.1 standard interface.
