aiHemel 0 Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Hi, My Emby server version is 4.6.4 and it used to pass-through Dolby audio to my Logitech Z906 system instead of doing software decoding. But now Emby is doing the Software audio decoding itself. The Logitech Z906 supports both Dolby and DTS but Emby SPDIF pass-though audio is not sending the codes to the speaker anymore. FYI: SPDIF/TOSLINK passthough audio is working just fine for Netflix and the Dolby/DTS gets decoded by the Logitech speaker.
Luke 42078 Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Hi there, did you explore the stats feature in the video player to learn why this is happening?
aiHemel 0 Posted September 16, 2021 Author Posted September 16, 2021 I could not find anything, As you can see from the attached image Dolby audio codec is decoded by software.
Luke 42078 Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Ok we'll see what @ebr thinks. Thanks.
ebr 16184 Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Hi. The issue is the Optical connection. Do you have an option for HDMI? In the playback settings for the app, what options appear there for audio?
aiHemel 0 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) @ebr I dont have HDMI input option for my Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system. So I only rely on passthrough Optical connection and Dolby/DTS codec gets decoded by the speaker system. Netflix works just fine and Emby used to work fine for the Dolby only but not DTS passthrough. I am running Emby Premiere but what is the benefit if I can not utilize Emby fully ! I am expecting your help guys so that my passthough audio works fine(eg. Netflix)! In the playback settings for the app I can not see any option for audio. Can you please tell me if you are looking for any particular option/settings ? Edited September 26, 2021 by aiHemel
ebr 16184 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Hi. Can you sideload this app on the device and see if it does what you want?
aiHemel 0 Posted September 27, 2021 Author Posted September 27, 2021 @ebr the sideloaded app just working fine and my speaker is decoding the Dolby codec using optical passthrough but DTS passthrough decoding is not working.
Luke 42078 Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Can DTS even be passed through on optical? I didn't think that was possible.

aiHemel 0 Posted September 28, 2021 Author Posted September 28, 2021 @ebr when can I expect to get the fix permanently ?
