Is Truehd 7.1 and DTSHDMA having issues. Can’t get my files to direct play with the new player. Didn’t have issues before. Maybe issue with passthrough? Sound system is capable with both. Usually just passes through.

For TrueHD:

I noticed the same with my FireStick 4K Max Gen 2 earlier this week and sent them client and [server log](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) files. The problem appears limited to TrueHD audio. EAC3 Atmos, used by streaming services, works OK. As a workaround, you can enable Force Direct Play in the Plex client. I’m unsure how that might affect other audio formats.

For DTS HD MA:

Thanks for the info. Hopefully a fix soon. For me, anything other than AC’s trancode.
