MSattler 387 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Fire TV Stick with Emby App Server Version 3.0.5845.0 With some movies playback sounds as if only the rear audio of a 5.1 track is being played, when the Fire TV stick is setup for 2 channel Stereo.

ebr 14959 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 In the app settings, change the audio mode to "Compatible". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSattler 387 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 In the app settings, change the audio mode to "Compatible". My end user tried that, but no change. Does it require a app restart/stick reboot for it to take effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Oh shoot. This item would be transcoding so that setting would have no effect. Has to be some sort of error on how it is being transcoded on the server. What happens if you make the second audio track the default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the thing though, for FireTV Sticks where only 2 channel is put out, should it be converting it to 6 channel?

ebr 14959 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The stick actually should be able to put out 5.1 if it is connected to the proper equipment. I think that is actually what is happening to you now. it is outputting 5.1 and your TV is only playing the L/R channels. I think most TVs will automatically downmix in that situation. You might have them check to see if there is a setting on the TV input for audio stereo vs. 5.1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
