simonselmer 21 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi Sorry, I have googled a ton of posts of Dolby Atmos not working on Emby on Shield. And from all my reading it seems to be a Nvidia issue, not Emby. But since I do run Emby on my Shield (bought it in 2019, but I dont think it's the newest 2019 pro), I ask here in this forum if anyone should have any up2date information and tricks to fix this. I have a Samsung soundbar, N950 I think. It will/should write "Dolby Atmos" in the display when ever Atmos is played. After I got the soundbar, it worked when playing movies with Atmos, however I could not hear the "Atmos"-effect, but that's perhaps another story. But the soundbar did say "Atmos", when I played those specific movies with TrueHD soundtrack, so I assume it received a signal with Atmos audio. Now I began messing with it again, and now I find that nomatter what I play, the soundbar does not display "Atmos". So I dont know if an update at some point during the past year has broken this, or if it's a setting somewhere I need to set correctly. Either in Emby or on the Shield. Any information or ideas from anyone? Best Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokuGuys 10 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 There is a setting in Emby that says Passthrough TrueHD or something like it. Try enabling that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonselmer 21 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi Yes, in the client settings under Playback, I had wllowed DTS pass-thru and also enabled DTS-HD passthru. So that unfortunately doesn't do the trick. Best Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokuGuys 10 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 You probably need to do a factory reset on Shield and then try updating the firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi. Exactly how is everything connected? To get TrueHD to a soundbar, I think the Shield will have to be connected directly to it via HDMI (assuming the soundbar supports TrueHD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4222 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Nvidia Shield > [HDMI] > N950 Input 1 TV > [HDMI] > N950 Output 1 Ensure your Shield is set to 'Auto' in the Audio settings & Atmos is enabled. Ensure Emby is set to Passthough in playback. This should be all you need for True-HD/DTS-X + Atmos. I have a Shield which plays Tru-HD/DTS-X HD + Atmos just fine (connected directly via HDMI to a Denon Amp) - so the issue will be physical connectivity or an incorrect setting somewhere.
