I’m confused about the audio transcoding behavior that happens on the client-side with a Google TV Streamer 4K.
My setup:
Server is direct playing a movie with a DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio track.
Client is a Google TV Streamer 4K, which does not support DTS-HD MA.
With the client-side “Audio Passthrough” option set to HDMI, my AVR receives a DTS signal. My understanding is that this is the “lossy core” of the DTS-HD MA audio track.
With passthrough disabled, my AVR receives a PCM 5.1 signal.
When passthrough is disabled, I am not sure if the Plex client or Android is doing the decoding to PCM, and I am not sure if the input to the decoding is the full DTS-HD MA track or the lossy DTS track.
How can I determine who is doing the decoding and what the source is?
