PS. Now onto 00:13 o clock (german time zone) the Cube 3 Gen updates (automatically) a new firmware (before, iam searching manually two times for updates, but there was no updates found).

Maybe just a big coincidence? :sweat_smile:

New Firmware version is now: Fire OS 7.6.1.3 (PS7613/3701)

Than after this update , the cube found (I am searched now again manually) the next Update Firmware Fire OS 7.6.4.6 (PS7646.3550N/3550) is ready for install.

Than next try for manually update search, the Cube found the next update (but two times there was only updates for the the the new amazon pro remote, now the back light of the remote keys working).

But now, Dolby Atmos True HD 7.1 is working! :face_savoring_food:

(saw 101 MBps / 367 MBps Bandwidth with 4K HDR / Dolby Atmos TrueHD 7.1).

Next days I am testing other sound formats.

But for this moment, the problem is fixed by amazon firmware. :crossed_fingers:

OMG, sorry :folded_hands:, but this is now a clearly statement also for other Amazon Fire TV Cube 3 Gen consumers and Plex users! :joy:

Short test’s for other sound formats:

DTS-HD MA 5.1 / 7.1 also working (but laggy / not really usable or enjoying, maybe because of only core license of the codec provided by Amazon? Or it’s the known bug, that I read onto Amazon pages, that is still an issue and the amazon support does still not responding / working for fixing on this? Only workaround maybe, to switch manually into fire tv cube settings to Dolby Digital Plus / Dolby Digital? You can see that the Cube does not pass the input signal to the AVR / HDMI chain correctly…):

After switched to manually to DTS Plus or to DTS into the Cube audio settings, still laggy with DTS-HD MA, but input signal shows only for a short time DTS (while short time playing and not laggy).

Switching manually to PCM into the Cube audio settings, no laggs appears and input signal set to PCM (of course):

I am really sure, that before Dolby Atmos True HD 7.1 works (before Firmware Fire OS 7.6.4.6 (PS7646.3550N/3550)) DTS-HD MA was working without problems!

This is an OEM software engineering issue provided by Amazon, right?
