I've been a long time user of Emby with multiple devices including older Samsung TVs. I just upgraded to a 2024 S90D with the latest Tizen OS, and install Emby and connected to my library.

I use Unmanic to transcode all audio to AAC, but nothing seems to work with the TV at all. The output sound just crackles and pops. All other media apps on the TV work fine and play sound. All other devices worked as well. I would think AAC would be a supported audio format?

I'll try to get some more media playing that may not be AAC. Here are my details:

Samsung model number:

QN65S90DAFXZA

Samsung firmware version:

Tizen OS 1131

Samsung Emby client version:

Emby for Samsung 1.8.0

Emby server version:

Version 4.9.0.30 beta

Yep! You responded while I was typing that out lol.

Here's what I just tried through Emby:

AAC 5.1 & 7.1 - Cracking and Popping (audio works on other devices)
EAC3 & AC3- Works
OPUS 7.1 - was just a horrendous buzzing sound (audio works on other devices)
OPUS 5.1 Works
DTS 5.1 Works
MP3 stereo Works

I tried the same AAC and OPUS 7.1 using a USB Drive with the TV, same issues (cracking and buzzing). 

TV Issue?... 🥲

Not with your TV hardware, but yes with the Samsung video player. That's why we generally have opus transcode through the server even though most tv's claim to support it. It may support it, but often doesn't play it back very well.

But having something like this happen with aac, that is new.

Are you using a sound bar or receiver, or playing directly on the TV?  This looks like a 2024 model so it could be a new problem, but no one else has reported it - especially for aac (opus has ongoing issues)

I tried with and without soundbar, and also playing directly on TV via USB files with no luck; however, I tested with my Nvidia Shield and playback works with Emby via that, so definitely a Samsung video player issue?

The few AAC playbacks I spot-checked did all have 96kHz playback. Let me see if I can find any with lower sampling rates (or is that something I can adjust in Emby or TV settings?)

You will need to find a sample with 48kHz, or if you are converting files yourself, just convert to 48kHz.

I've converted the files that weren't working before using ffmpeg to 48Khz AAC, and both worked! It seems the new Samsung TVs don't support >48Khz as you pointed out.

Now I have some encoding to do...

Thanks for confirming.  I believe 48kHz is the limit for all Samsung models (new and old)

This has been baffling me for ages! 

Better get on transcoding! 

Is there a way emby can transcode unsupported sample rates automatically? At the moment the only work round is to limit the stream to less than the direct stream to force encoding.

@Luke can we set an audio stream sample rate limit for DirectPlay and force transcoding of audio if it exceeds the limit?

Yes. Are we sure this is the reason?

I expect so.  According to the Samsung Video Specifications model matrix, 96kHz audio is not supported.
