ebr 14825 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 We should be giving you superior sound by sending DD to your soundbar instead of software decoded PCM. We are also only converting the audio so there is no video transcoding going on and should not have much of an impact on your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D34DC3N73R 18 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) @ It is odd though. When plex reports direct play, there is absolutely no transcoding happening server side. Not even audio. Server CPU is flat. I can't say what's happening on the client. Honestly, I don't mind emby needing to transcode the audio (very little resources needed for that), if that audio transcode didn't also affect the video (as described in this post). I also attached a diagram of my system. I'm fairly certain the cables are 6' HDMI 2.0. If you can think of a better way to set up the system, I'm all ears.
