Coming from Nvidia Shield Pro to Classic AI. Where in Classic AI settings can I find an option for audio pass through? Finding for TV that I’m not getting DD+ 5.1 passed to my Sonos Playbar

Display & Sound

Sound) Advanced sound settings

Manual  choose audio format 

I use a Sonos Arc soundbar & rears , it works for me but the setting reads as STEREO PCM thats it 

Not getting 5.1 multichannel pcm or Dolby Atmos 

It reverts back to NONE: never use surround sound

 

Awaiting further UPDATES to correct this bug fix

Thanks for the feedback. I’m using Sonos Playbar with Sub and two Play 1s. When box is connected HDMI to TV; optical from TV to Playbar, I will see DD 5.1 reflected in the Sonos app. If I connect optical from box to Playbar, I only see STEREO PCM in Sonos app as you describe.

The NEW firmware is WELCOME minus the quirks.The box works well for PVR recording,and its IPTV functions seem OK but of course streams are only as good as IPTV service. I have a good co. so I'm happy with the picture quality. Audio is still hit or miss.

I don't use anything other than a few KODI addons to check a/v formats, an app called DebridStream, Youtube.

I don't pay for: Amazon,Netflix,Paramount+,Disney as I get that content from DebridStream

 

Thx for your feedback..Happy " test viewing "

Optical to a soundbar is PCM though and compressed?
