    It's not a matter of converting - optical can only process 7.1 via PCM audio.
    It's been a while since using optical from my Xbox-One I don't recall it having a PCM mode in optical just HDMI.

    What's the easyisr thing to look for would be a HDMI to PCM optical adaptor and use the HDMI Arc on the television to output the sound - providing the TV supports 7.1 return...

    I think it will have to plug into the xbox.
