Help Me: New TV and surround sound issues

Bear with me and ask for any additional info you need.

Old setup was a Panasonic TV and Sony receiver with an Xbox one hooked up.

Bought a new LG smart TV over the weekend. (only part of the setup that changed)

Issue;

1. No matter what 'sound field' I use on the receiver (Multi Stereo, 2 Ch Stereo, Concert, etc..). All sound coming from the xbox sounds very Echo-y.

2. Multiple audio sources do not work on the same sound field. I use to be able to run the receiver on Multi Stereo and hear Game sounds from the xbox while simultaneously running pandora on the xbox. Now I can only hear one or the other, depending on what sound field the receiver is set on.

Things I've tried:

1. TV volume is turned all the way down, plus the TV sound is set to external speakers (IE don't use the internal TV speaker)

2. Looked at TV sound settings and receiver sound settings, nothing has seemed to work.

Things to do?:

1. Maybe the HDMI cords are in the wrong order/ports?

Currently; HDMI goes from TV to receiver, and another from receiver to Xbox.

1. Swap in roommates Samsung TV and see if problems still exist?

TIA for anything that may or may not help.

Model # information for TV and Receiver would help so we could look at the manuals.

Usually "echo-y" means you have TV sound output along with the speaker output...but you checked that. Could be a special audio effect mode on the receiver somehow, but you didn't change settings right?

Did you double check the audio settings on the X-Box One to see if they were changed somehow. Were you bitstreaming the audio to receiver for it to decode or decoding the audio from the X-Box?

I'd look within the receiver for a setting like "stadium", "ambiance", "concert hall", "echo chamber" or something like that. It sounds like the receiver is processing the signal for some effect that always sounds terrible.

Tv is an LG 49LH570A and the receiver is a Sony STR-DH540.

'Concert' is the setting I have been using with the new TV, but it still doesn't sound quite right.

Had similar problem last xmas. Got a 55" ROKU TV for xmas. Tried to hook existing surround sound to b it. Tried everything, new hdmi cable, every posiible setting. Even got others to try. Never got surround sound to work but did get stereo sound through the surround sound system. Figured the older (3 or 4 year old) surround sound was incompatible with the new ROKU TV.

I'm pretty sure you can go into the settings on the xbox and adjust the sound delay.

Could you take a picture of what all indicators are lit on the receiver's display?

In the mean time follow the steps on pg 45 of manual to reset sound fields to default, clearing them out.

Thank you.

It seems at some point the X1 HDMI audio output was changed to 'bitstream out', changing it to 'stereo uncompressed' fixed all the issues.

Clearing the sound fields didn't change anything. As seen above, it was an audio setting issue with the X1. Thanks for the help.
