xbox optical out question

| I use the optical out on my xbox to send a 5.1 signal to a decoder.
My current settings are "dolby surround" and "dolby digital" enabled.
Sometimes midnight though, I don't want to use the 5.1 speakers, but
headphones instead.
I need the Xbox to send a stereo signal over the optical out for that.
I wonder what I have to change in the dashboard to get that done. Just turn
dolby digital off? Or do I have to set sound to stereo instead of dolby
surround as well?
(the dolby surround option confuses me tbh...it's just a method of making
sound trough 2 speakers sound "3d" /more expansive right?).
Pity the Xbox doesnt have sound test built -in btw.

| Mine requires muting the speakers, or I have the ability to turn my speakers
off (I have a A, B, off, A+B option)
