mitch2471 9 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 First of all, I am running Emby Theater on a windows 10 pc with the latest emby server installed on the same machine. I have the pc connected to an AV receiver via hdmi. The issue I’m having is that films with DD/DTS/DTS HD/Dolby HD quite often play with no sound. With most I can stop the playback & restart from the beginning & then I get sound. I have one film which has True HD surround sound & the audio just cuts in & out constantly no matter what I do. Sometimes I get the in/out sound effect on just standard 5.1 AC3. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hi there, how have you configured sound options in the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch2471 9 Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 I've tried using the enable exclusive audio mode but it made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 What happens if you uncheck the passthrough options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch2471 9 Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 If I unchecked the pass through options I get a stereo output. No cutting in or out of sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch2471 9 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Intel cpu, Nvidea 1660TI gpu. I can play these files without issue in wmc, vlc, mpc. I still have codec's installed from when I ran wmc/emby. I did wonder if that could have anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 109 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) External codecs will play no part in mpv. Try enabling exclusive mode, and updating drivers Edited May 11, 2022 by generiq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch2471 9 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 I’ve tried exclusive mode & carried out a clean install of the gpu drivers (handles the hdmi passthrough to the AV receiver). No joy This problem is only occurring in Emby Theater. No issues in other media players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 109 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Follow the instructions here, make a log, and attach it. When you make the logging entry in the conf, include the file name with the extension. e.g. log.txt create and mpv.conf add logging Play video, once. Attach log.
