Hello all, i've some strange issue with my New shield tv in terms of audio out-put, i was using H96pro+ Tv Box before, i've a good movie collections on my external hard drive
which has the audio formats of HDMA & TrueHD formats, i also connect to my AVR through HDMI(ARC) from my TV,
well my tv's media-player is great it plays most of the video-audio formats through USB but the only problem with ARC was even though when i play HDMA or TrueHD format file all it does is it converts into DTS or Dolby Digital+ format and i get to see the display on my AVR but the sound out is really great when it played, hence i felt that may be m missing something in terms of HDMA & TrueHD audio and i got my H96pro+ as per some of our FM's reviews and comments, I've installed Kodi as my media player to play all my files and Wow i got to see all the supported formats displayed on my AVR as HDMA & TrueHD when i played the respective files and the sound quality was great as expected was able to hear more details than what i use to hear it on my TV's ARC,
The problem i faced with my H96pro+ was since i have an 4kTV it could play files perfect only if i set the screen resolution to 1080p on H96pro+ if i leave to auto setting or set it to 4k i was losing the lip sync on the videos i watched, i tried several Kodi app versions still did not work for me after doing an research finally got my Nvidia Shiled Tv and i gave away my H96pro+ because of setting the screen resolution to 1080p on the H96pro+ the display looked little washed out than looking in 4k resolution which was more colorful & Detail.
Now the problem that i've with the Nvidia Shield Tv is it plays all the format files with no issues, tried several kodi 18 apps but didn't support well exploring more...,
meanwhile noticed the audio quality is not that great, i mean the audio out put from the AVR is not that great not even close to the audio what i get from my HDMI(ARC),
I even played through the default shiled's media player i could see the display on my AVR it shows up HDMA & TrueHD display when i play the respective files but i feel so bad i could not get the right sound what i was expecting from the player, there was one kodi 18 app i was able to install with out any problem but the problem i had with that app was irrespective of the file format HDMA or TrueHD i played all i got the display on my AVR was only Dolby Digital+ and the audio out put was very low same as what i got when i played through the default Shield's media player.. even when i play any movie form Netflix on shield its shows as DD+ and low sound output.
sorry to wright a big story but wanted to share my complete experience so that i could get some suggestions from our FM's, is there any setting that i should do on my shield Tv? to fix the issue please give in your suggestions.. Thanks in advance.
