Downmix to stereo on Chromecast

[charlesk 2]

Hi all,

 

Using chromcast to cast the web client to a tv.  Surround sound content doesn't seem to be downmixing to stereo properly.  Loud music & sound effects, with very quiet speech.

 

I don't know if it's meant to be Emby downmixing to stereo or if it's meant to be Chromecast.

 

I can't find any settings anywhere to set the Chromecast device to downmix to stereo.  Or anywhere else.

 

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?  Settings on the Chromecast or via Emby?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

I am also a Chromecast user, I have no worries that the.

Did you try with another film?

 

What did you put in the Emby configuration, playback, transcoding, audio boost? by default it is set to 2 me but I put on 1.

 

Sorry for my English !

I would like to know the correct audio settings too. I have had to have my remote In hand to quickly turn down volume when music and sound effect come on while watching movies or TV series

Still got this issue.  I think it depends on the audio codec.

Streaming from Ipad via Chromecast.  It's direct playing.  It's an MKV file.

 

Audio is showing as 2.0 AAC, but the strange thing is that music/sound effect is REALLY loud, but speech is REALLY quiet.  As if it's just playing the surround.

 

BUT the file is showing in Emby as 2.0??  WTF?
