LG OLED 48C14LB behavior with TrueHD files

[ghortat 0]

Hi,

Just a quick question because i can't quite understand what is going on.

I have my OLED connected on eARC with Sonos arc so i played some 4K HDR content from other apps (built-in) and got DOlby Atmos from the S2 app.

So now i tried Emby for LG 1.0.31 and same content (TrueHD 7.1 audio) results in Dolby Digital 5.1. Is something going wrong with my setup?

At first i had default values for users on the server and then restricted transcoding but nothing changed.

Why Emby changes (or the TV) the audio info passed to Sonos Arc? IS there a hidden setting i am not aware of?

Thank you!

Does this help? Why does the Emby App for my LG TV not play the Dolby Atmos TrueHD Audio without Transcoding? : Emby

Yes this does help indeed. Thank you so much for your feedback!

I tried with a Shield 2k17 model that i had on my main living room setup (with amp + large main speakers for 5.1) and atmos worked like charm for true hd tracks.

I am not sure if this will suffice or i would need to update to the latest model. Some dts tracks played without sound (invalid format returned) while from the TV or other box were being played without any issue.

Perhaps for DTS some transcoding must have happened which i did not notice.
