AAC 5.1 Shows PCM and Rear Speakers Don't Work

[JackBowman 35]

The Android TV Version of the App works great with the AAC 5.1. Using the Android App all I get is PCM and I loose the rear speakers. Any thoughts on this? I have made sure the audio setting for unrecognized formats is set to output as Dolby Digital. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Thanks for the response, Luke. I did some sound equipment testing and discovered that the sound fields settings in my surround sound stereo receiver where not auto detecting AAC formats correctly. I now think this is a non-Emby issue. I can manually set the stereo field mode and it works great. Dang, I guess I will have to wonder down the the electronics store and get the latest model. Twist my arm...
