Stuza 2 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Hey all! I'm trying to get Atmos to passthrough but, can't see any options in the Webclient. Options are there in Theater and passes through perfectly (soundbar says "Atmos") but, not obvious in the WebClient menus. Am I being stoopid and not seeing them in an obvious place? I'd rather use the Webclient for the RTX upscaler as AFAIK this isn't in the awesome Theater? Windows 11/Opera. Thanks!

pwhodges 1534 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Where are you expecting the audio to go from the browser? I use Opera in Windows 11, and the audio goes to the Windows sound setup, no option - in my case as simple surround, because that's what I have Windows setup to play. In the past Opera has had problems even with simple surround, so I wouldn't be surprised if it still cannot handle anything more advanced. It would be interesting to try in another browser.

Stuza 2 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 The options are just not there within the webclient to select which audio formats to pass-thru. I just tried Edge, no different. But, they're both Chromium based. I don't know if the options are not there in either of these browsers because they are both Chromium based or, it's just not coded (yet?) but the Emby app team. How I wish the Webclient (RTX) was merged with Theater (Atmos supporting). The client I have on my LG C2 is perfect, but I can't monitor my PC when I'm supposed to be working lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 There’s no ability for web apps to control whether audio pass through happens or not. It’s an handled by the browser internally. No browsers currently support atmos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuza 2 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Thanks Luke. Any chance of RTX upscalling being put in to Theatre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I would think that comes from enabling hardware acceleration, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, should have responded a better previously. When "Pass through" is selected in an app the windows sound subsystems are almost not used, it literally passes through the bits n bytes without decoding them to the amp, in my case my Samsung which the passes through to the sound bar where is FINALLY decoded. Windows sound config should have little to nothing to do with it, it's dependant on your application, HDMI cable and amp support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1534 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 As has already been said, browsers pass audio through to the default audio system (Windows Sound System in Windows), and the app running within the browser has no control over this.

Paul Sure. Just trying to help you understand how pass through works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
