Hook up your Xbox to a Dolby Digital Decoder
Xbox® is the first and only game console to support in-game Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound. This lets you experience all the game sounds from your home theater system in full 5.1 surround.
Before you get started, make sure you've got the following:
A digital audio output.
A free optical digital input on your receiver.
An optical digital audio cable.
Digital Audio Output
Your Xbox didn't come standard with a digital audio output, but you're gonna need one for this to work, so hightail it to the store for the Advanced AV Pack or High Definition AV Pack, both of which have digital audio outputs. Microsoft makes both of them. You can also buy third-party AV cables for Xbox?but make sure they have a digital audio output.
Free Optical Digital Input
For this slammin' sound system to work properly, you need at least one free optical digital input on your receiver.
Ready to Hook It Up? Let's Go!
Connect the digital audio output to your Xbox.
Connect one end of the optical digital audio cable to the digital audio output on your Xbox and the other end to the optical digital input on your receiver.
Turn on your Xbox with no disc in the disc drive.
In the Xbox Dashboard, select Settings.
Select Audio.
You will see an Audio Mode screen that shows Dolby Digital and DTS status. Select Dolby Digital.
You will see the question "Does your stereo system support Dolby Digital Audio?" Select Yes.
You will see Dolby Digital Enabled in the audio screen.
Your Xbox is now ready for Dolby Digital gameplay. Insert a game disc and play!

Xbox 360 wireless guitar connection
I had this issue myself today when I borrowed Guitar Hero III and the wireless guitar from a friend. Luckily I decided to scour the internet before I got so pissed that I broke an accessory that isn't mine.
There are TWO buttons that you have to push to connect a new wireless device to your 360 that isn't connecting automatically.
Step 1
There is a small white button on the face of the 360 just to the right of the controller wire ports. Press and hold this button until the light on your 360 starts to flash. This puts your system into pairing mode. When this happens:
Step 2
There is a small inconspicuous button on the bottom of the guitar near the strap connection When you press and hold this one you will see the lights around the x-box symbol flash in a circle.
If this does not solve your problem, chance are that you are indeed F*@KED and have to return yet another Microsoft product.

From what I can find, it would seem your Xbox one is having trouble connecting to the Microsoft servers. It could be because of increased traffic, or an issue with your internet speeds.It is also possible, that the services provided by Microsoft, are not ready yet. It happens a lot during the first while of release of a new system.The PS4 is having simmelar issues.
When watching a film I
Its a codec problem, basically how the xbox 360 converts the film to be able to play it on there. Is the xbox connected to the net, as it will automatically download the needed codecs
have you tried updating to the newest dash
Xbox 360
The Arcade model comes with no harddrive, no hdmi (for digital connection to an HDTV), and I beleive the controller is wired instead of wireless. If you are planning on just playing games then the arcade may be a good choice for you as it's cheaper but you may find yourself wanting a hard drive sooner than later. Without a hard drive you will not be able to purchase or rent movies and you will not be able to download game demos and Xbox Live Arcade games. To compensate Microsoft includes a disc with some of the greatest hits of XBox Live Arcade with the Arcade version. The Pro comes with a 20GB hard drive but still no HDMI. The Elite version has a 120GB hard drive and HDMI. For most people the Pro is the one to get. If you were to get the Arcade then purchase a hard drive later you will pay more than the price of the pro.

The mouse cursor icon is
Right click the Rise of Nations display icon, go to 'Properties' and go to 'open file location'.
Look for a '.ini' file called 'Rise2' - double click it to open it up.
You will see this about mid way through the list that then pops up:
ForceHardwareCursor=0
ForceGDICursor=0
ForceBWCursor=0
ForceStaticCursor=0
change all of the 0's into 1 - then go to file, save. This should fix any issues you have with the mouse not working properly.

You might need a new disc all together, the one you have may have just a couple of scratches. (same thing happened to me!) all i simply did was buy a new disc (fifa) and it started working again. Hope this helps DIGMAN
How to make it play the movie
I had the same problem playing video from a data disc, code 69-8007045d. I made the exact same video file play by (1) adding .avi file extension to the file name (i.e. "videofile" renamed: "videofile.avi") and (2) putting it in a folder with the exact same name (videofile.avi). Same video file, didn't have to transcode to .wmv which degrades vid quality. Simple solution, but it worked. This is also the key to displaying a picture file as the icon instead of the generic "filmstrip" pic that displays by default. Just name the picture file the same name as the video and folder (i.e. "video.avi"). This has even worked with divx and xvid encoded videos when I've tried. My guess as to why this happens is that MS doesn't want to be legally or financially responsible for their hardware being used to play protected content, which is also why the status code 69-8007045d doesn't appear anywhere on their official website. Good luck.
