Hi guys,

 

I got my emby server on my synology, and i just bought a sonos playbar and a sub.

 

When I try to start my movies with DTS sound, no sound comes, I've read that sonos have problems with dts. 

 

I have also read that people using PLEX may well make DTS work, does anyone know if I can get the emby the same?

 

Hope someone can help me

What app are you using?

[Allehaderos]

Emby on my Nvidia shield 

My Emby server is on my synology

My sonos playbar is connected with a optical cable

[Doofus]

Shield doesn't have an optical output, so are you using the optical output from your TV?

[Allehaderos]

Yes, HDMI from sheild to TV and optical from tv to sonos... 

[Doofus]

So the issue will be with what your TV supports. If your TV supports DTS, the shield will send that to the TV, and then your TV is responsible for the rest. So, more questions. Is your TV configured correctly? Does the Sonos support multi channel audio?

[Allehaderos]

The last question I dont understand/know

I just set up my sonos to day, without my sonos my DTS movie played fine :/

Looking at it, it does.

So you need to make sure your TV audio is configured correctly, to let AC3 and DTS passthrough.

my tv is a SONY KD55XE8096 4K TV

I found some settings on my shield where I could select audio formats, so now it works.. 

 

Thank you very much for your help
