Device: TCL C725 Android 11 Appversion: 2.0.70g Serverversion: 4.6.7.0 when playback files with DTS HD audio streams sound is very distorted, including some visible video stutters stats for nerds shows direct playback, but i get no "dts notification" on the tv dts files, direct playback too, play undistorted but there is also no "dts notification" audio playback setting in emby is set to 'auto' forcing software downmix (very low sound on multichannel files) / "fix playback function (what directly transcodes also the video)" for sure "solves" the problem, but then there clearly isn't anymore a dts hd stream to send to the tv decoder via the internal player, files playback normal and undistorted and the "dts notification" is shown there no problems on dolby tracks, "dolby atmos notification" is correctly shown if present

I don't know if I have a similar issue but using the emby exo player to play a 4k movie with ac3 5.1 audio results in transcoding the audio. I am using an android box connected to an av unit which is capable of playing these audio stream's directly. If I change the audio to down mix to stereo there is no transcoding but the audio sounds poor. If I use VLC or MX player I get direct play 4k video and full Dolby 5.1. The same is true for Dolby HD and True HD. It seems that the inbuilt exo player is unable to handle these audio streams?
