Luke 36999 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Well receiver displays DSUR (Dolby Surround) but no output to center channels. Can you please go over an example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeip 0 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 I tested emby on the Shield and sound passthrough is incredible. I think my TV has a problem working with the Emby Android TV app. I'll plan to get an android box that can passthrough all codecs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
