Firestick DTS issue

[djmbrfc 0]

Hi,

I am new to emby so not an expert and I would appreciate a bit of help with this issue I have.....

There are 2 apps on the firestick for emby the "Emby for Fire TV" and "Emby"

"Emby" refuses to play DTS audio.

"Emby for Fire TV" plays DTS perfectly.

How do I fix the "Emby" app to play DTS?

I am using the Firestick 4K 2025 edition

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response..

Yes I think so ......

Looks a bit too involved for me so I will stick with the "Emby for Fire TV"

Will try "Emby" now and again in the hope it gets fixed!

Hi, what exactly happens?

Hi,

"Emby" refuses to play DTS audio but plays the movie OK

"Emby for Fire TV" plays DTS perfectly, it also didn't play DTS at first but I found it has the option to prevent DTS-HD passthrough. When I unchecked this all played great. While "Emby" does no have this passthrough option available.

Hi there, what exactly do you mean by refuses? Are you saying it tells you that it won't play the track?

It directly plays the video OK and stats for nerds states the audio is being directly played but no sound coming out of the speakers.

As the Emby TV app actually playing the DTS or is it down mixing it?

It's being directly played no transcoding or down mixing.

The movie and sound also plays OK when using the Samsung TV app.
