@PlexJB Another user named Stevenha made an interesting discovery about MPV trying channels and sample rates. Maybe you can get a chance to test his theory on your files too.

This is with Audio in configured to HDMI and all relevant decoder options (all) selected. Plex Media Player doesn’t suffer from the same problem producing nice crisp and where available multi channel audio.
