Hi all, For users in the Xbox Insiders programme we have a new feature available to test in the Xbox Plex app, audio passthrough support! Currently this is limited to users in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring but please keep an eye out on news.xbox.com for when Audio Passthrough support is available to u…

Most likely ms does different staging for different xbox types and locales, especially the lower rings (which get fewer and slower updates). If after restarting (not shut down) the xbox doesn’t show the new update ready in the insider app, then your only option is to wait.

Yeah possibly. Usually when that’s the case their blog says “new updates for some users in the omega ring” however this update just says “new updates for users in the omega ring”. Potentially with the availability of Xbox series x increasing and more people getting them and joining the insider progr…

For me this feature is not working after May update and Client update (5.15.1). I’ve enabled audio-passthrough feature, but Plex is still transcoding DTS into AAC. My AV receiver is compatible with DTS.

Just installed the May update and enabled passthrough on the Series X (rebooted), confirmed public release v2.72.1 referenced by @Moussa above is installed but passthrough doesn’t seem to be working. TrueHD still shows as being transcoded, receiver supports TrueHD and works fine from ShieldTV with t…

I’ve got both updates and have enabled audio pass through in my Xbox series s settings. However nothing will Direct Play on any of my blu-ray mkv files or do audio passthrough. It says the following: Reasons: Cannot direct play with protocol: http, codec: dca. Reason: Audio Passthrough is not avail…

The public release that just went out includes support. Please note that there is no longer a setting within the Plex app to enable passthrough, it’s automatic now. You’ll also need to have updated your console to the May Update.
