“Proper set up configuration for the optical and usb connections? When connecting a PS4 and and XboxOne, how do I route the USB and Optical connections, so that it will work with both systems without having to unplugging this and move it here. I understand how to connect one system or the other, but how do I do it at one time?”

Don't think that's possible. You have to connect the usb cable into the console you're using.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Connect the transmitter directly to the television. Use the optical and usb ports on the tv, and as long as the tv is on, it will power the transmitter and push any audio on the tv through the transmitter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As far as I know there isn't a way to have them connected at the same time. The game audio is sent using an optical cable and you can't have two cables merge. The best you could do is get a hub but that still requires you to flip from one input to the next. I don't have an Xbox so this part is a guess but it seems Xbox chat is transmitted to the controller rather than being sent through the transmitter so the issue there is keeping power but if you keep your USBs active in sleep mode on the playstation you might be ok.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The only way to achieve this is to purchase a optical switch which will allow you to choose which system you want to use eliminating the need to plug and unplug cables. You still might run into certain issues regarding the usb as I'm not sure if it only is used to power the transmitter. I couldn't get my headset to work until I powered the transmitter through my ps4. I tried to power the transmitter through another usb because I dont like the cables hanging out of the front of the ps4. You may need a usb switch as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can have it connected to 1 system at a time. Doesn't matter if it's ps or xbox, both will be connecting same way, and adjusted in the system preferences.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not necessarily the answer but the route to explore, you'd need two things an optical/toslink splitter and a usb (peripheral) sharing switch. The weak link is the usb sharing switch these are mostly made for printers and most have a button to push rather than auto-switching, the consoles might not recognize what it is when plugged in. Both things cannot be on otherwise the optical bit won't work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are digital optical (toslink) splitters available. I have heard positive and negative things about them. You may be able to run out of both consoles into a splitter and then to the turtle beach box. Alternatively, check and see if your tv has an optical for audio out. you may be able to connect the headset to the output on the TV and bypass the consoles all together.
