Server Version#: 4.49.2 Player Version#: 8.11.0.22186 I have a Sony XE85 Android TV with Plex app installed, and I just noticed that any video with 5.1 DTS sound is actually playing 2 channel PCM stereo audio to my AV receiver via ARC. 5.1 AC3 works fine. It hasn’t always been like this, I don’…

As you probably know by now sony killed hdmi arc dts with the last firmware update. You can change plex passthrough setting to optical (with hdmi arc connection) to gain dts back and you lose eac3 (only for plex, not netflix etc). There are 2 possible solutions. To rollback firmware to oreo 8 (if i…

Hello, I would like some precisions about what you said. [image] petorf: You can change plex passthrough setting to optical (with hdmi arc connection) Do I need to connect an optical-cable between my TV and my sound-bar ? Currently I only have an HDMI-Cable. (my TV is an Sony 55AF8). […

I’ve got this warning when I activate the Passthrough Optical : [image] (I’ve got the same warning when I activate Passthrough on HDMI…) On my sound-projector (Yamaha YSP-2500), from HD-Surround, I get now Surround only for all my eAC3 content. A DTS 5.1 audio is reported as “Direct Play (DCA 5…

My french ( I think) friend stick with it or use kodi app with plex addon and all work fine. In kodi system audio expert settings enable passthrough and click all formats underneath it. If Plex updates you can retry

@petorf Yes, I’m french :innocent: , I’ll stick with this workaround until a fix is published, if it’s published one day… I used ti use Kodi before, but some media doesn’t play well with it. And I prefer the Plex interface. I totally abandonned Kodi for Plex :slight_smile: I don’t intend to go back…

I too am super confused about this issue of the Plex app not playing surround sound on a lot of movies and shows. I’ve got a Sony Bravia with eARC and Dolby Digital Plus, with a Sony DH790 ATMOS receiver setup in 5.1.2 . Some titles play in Atmos, some in “DSUR” which is typically 5.1 and others in …
