Sorry no logs as I needed to get this working again but wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else. Setting up my new Sony receiver and all was working well. Had to move a few things around so I I plug the hdmi cable from my Sony TV, do my thing and plug it back in and turn everything back on. Now Emby will only output DD+ 2.0. Here’s the setup; Sony A9G using built in Emby app. Output via EARC to receiver which is set up in direct mode. All other apps and Kodi output 5.1 sound correctly. Tried every combination of shutting down and starting up thinking it was some sort of handshaking issue since this worked before with no luck. I’ve change no setting on any device since this was working earlier. As a last ditch solution I uninstalled Emby and reinstalled it and now all is working as it was before. One odd observation though. I am running the beta version of the app and noticed a few days ago the option to output non supported audio as Dolby digital. Now however that option is missing. Is it only available if Emby detects a certain configurations?

@ebr just wanted verify that the only solution in my case is to to a hard reboot of my TV any time I want 5.1 sound? If you guys can get the regular Android app working with a BT remote I think that may be an option for me as that seemed to work consistently. What are the differences between the 2 apps? What would I be loosing out on if I did switch to the regular Android app side loaded?
