HtRabbit 9 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I'm not sure if it helps, but the same video plays fine if I cast it to the TV from my phone or use kodi emby interface. I mostly noticed this after doing the core update 3.7 embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just to confirm, do you think the same file was working with DirectPlay and the audio was fine prior to the server upgrade? Can you please attach a server log for the Samsung DirectPlay example where you're not hearing any audio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HtRabbit 9 Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) I have upgraded to the new version of the Samsung TV app. Still having strange audio issues. I played back to movies, both of them I was able to hear background sounds Maybe music if it was playing but all the vocal audio or the actors voices was either very muted or impossible to hear I don't know if that'll help you it's almost like it's not encoding all the tracks. My TV is connected to the network via hardwire at 1 GB.

HtRabbit 9 Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 yes it did it on direct play as well, i have been doing some testing on my end. if i disable the optical out on tv and just use internal speakers it is ok, after that i can re-enable the optical and everyone seems happy till i change movies or restart tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 890 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 It sounds like you have something going on with audio/optical output on your TV (unrelated to the app/server). I would suggest testing with the TV's internal speakers as well to verify that it works fine with them and it's just an audio output problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtRabbit 9 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 while i agree, its weird that it only does it with this app. if i use emby from my computer and cast the same movie to the same tv it sounds fine. i think it is not worth digging into as it is only a couple that give me issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, it may be that you're not getting the same multi channel audio when casting, so you're not having the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderclap 39 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I'm not sure if this is the same issue -- though I suspect it is -- I have two users with 4k Samsung Smart TV's and both reported no audio when watching videos recently. The fix we've found was to manually set the playback option from Auto. Since I don't have a Samsung Smart TV it's hard for me to troubleshoot, though it did seem to happen after updating Emby server to 4.7.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenniko 5 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Have the same issue myself.

Foxsneaks 3 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Sorry to revive an old topic. Just started using Emby and am having the EXACT issue on my Samsung TV using the Emby app ver. 1.2.6. I get no audio whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats for nerds section shows the Audio file is EAC3 5.1 640kbps tv is Samsung Frame 2019, updated to latest firmware and Emby version for Samsung 1.2.6. all files work fine when I play directly on my iPhone AND my Apple TV. I can’t cast anything up to Emby to the Samsung TV as it doesn’t have a built in chrome cast, but does have AirPlay. But I can’t see any option for AirPlay inside of Emby. when I screen mirror my phone to the Samsung TV and then play a Emby video it works fine. all settings are set to auto, English by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 890 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 1.2.6 is a very old version and the issue you are describing with EAC3 with transcoded video was resolved in later versions Are using the installation from the App Store, or a very old USB beta installation?

Yes, that would give you the latest update, but just be aware that you need to download and install the latest USB version every 30 days as Samsung adds a built in expiry to USB beta installs. If you can tolerate this then it will always be more current than the store version. Anyway, once the TV is 5 years old they won’t allow us to update the store version so then you will need to use the USB version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like my store never updated, so will just have to go with the USB route. Not ideal, but better than no Audio!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just checked and for some reason v1.6.4 has been stuck in the Samsung review process. We had the same issue earlier in the year which is why 2019 models are on such an old version. I’ll send them a message tonight to try and get it moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
