generiq 109 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 But make sure Windows audio is configured to your speaker layout. The next thing I would try is replacing libmpv with the latest git master, from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee 204 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 So... If I turn off pass through with the amp on auto I get no audio at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 109 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Ooooo....this is looking like an audio device/WASAPI issue. Have you made your receiver the default device in Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you had ARC setup before, did you disable it on the TV and the receiver? Do you still have the HDMI cable plugged into the ARC port(s)? Does Windows still see your TV as an audio device?

Same set up as this direct into the amp simplink/arc didn't work well with my old TV and amp.

generiq 109 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Ok, let's rule out your receiver. Connect your computer directly to your TV and see how that compares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't use that as my solution though.. DTS HD MA won't pass through the TV. I've gone to lengths to set-up 7.1 4k for this .. bit deflating tbh.

The easiest way is buy an HDMI coupler, and connect the cables together behind the receiver. Can you post a screenshot of the audio devices in Windows?

Lee 204 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Shows lgtv. The audio codec on stats for nerds says true HD. The eARC doesn't recognize it on pass through or not.. There is a eac3 audio file that bri gs it to life then both audio tracks will play but the receiver hasn't a clue what's playing. At this rate an nvidia shield is looking really tempting emby worked miles better when it was lav filters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 109 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 It looks like you've got something configured incorrectly. If you're connected through the receiver, then the TV shouldn't be an optional audio device. You should see your receiver. If this is you testing connecting from the computer directly to the TV, then the receiver shouldn't be connected to anything. Then you'd need to disable all passthrough options in Theater that your TV doesn't support. If you're still connected through the receiver to the TV then you'll need to check the settings in the TV and receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was connected to the eARC TV out. The amp doesn't show as an option if its connected this way and vice versa. Much to my surprise it seems even worse if connected to the TV, I did think that would work but I'd lose dts HD ma. Appears not judder is worse and no sound issue is more evident. This is in game mode on the TV too which is advised (no post processing). There's a hdmi handshake issue somewhere I think with screen refresh rate switching. It does it on the TV and the amp no sound unless I skip back a bit then it kicks in. If I don't have screen refresh rate switching on its unwatchable due to judder. Also if I enable open gl it's worse the cpu has this ability so I don't know why that is. Ffmpeg h264/h265 recoding works a dream with this and until I switched up to 4k everything else did. Very bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test was to remove the receiver from the chain, and play through the TV, using the TV speakers. Then see if you have the same problem. And you said that you hadn't used ARC, but obviously you have. You need to disable ARC in the and receiver. You also didn't answer if you've checked for firmware updates. There's nothing wrong with Emby Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
