X42's Dolby Digital Led Wont Light Up

The X42's Dolby digital light will not come on. The LED does work because when I change surround angles it flashes. I have my Xbox set onn 5.1 and the games I play have Dolby Digital, what could the problem be?

I have same problem. I found that if you unplug the digital optical cable from either the back of transmitter or the TB 360 adapter, and then plug it back in, it will then recognize Dolby.

Very aggravating.
