EAC3 Audio Not Working

[tattler 31]

The issue with playing too fast on Chromebook seems to be resolved. But the audio is not working for (E)AC3 and any high resolution sound except for DTS-HA MA (downmixed). AAC is working fine though.

Emby seems to not be able to detect that Chromebook cannot play AC3 and should downmix the high resolution audio to either MP3 or AAC. The transcoding happens only for movie resolution but audio is not converted (downmixed) on Chromebook with the Emby for Android app. I tried with multiple movies and can confirm that only DTS-HA MA gets downmixed to AAC correctly but not other formats. Even AC3 stereo is not downmixed to MP3 or AAC. The option to convert to uncompatible audio to AC3 is not enabled.

All other HD sound produces no audio at all. It seems to be in the audio capability detection that does not work.

Can you take a look at this? Before this, everything was playing fine with audio and media. Something must have been changed since either in the server or the Emby app.

That is why I said it seems... at least on the Acer Chromebook one of my family members has. The playback is normal now, only audio issues.
