Yes, it is true. But from what I can tell, it only appears to be lossy DTS Digital Surround support, not support for lossless DTS-HD Master Audio or DTS:X.

“Sonos also plan to add support for decoding DTS Digital Surround later this year via the S2 platform on Playbar, Playbase, Amp, both generations of Beam, and Arc.”

Does anyone know (or have this same problem) why I can only get DTS if I turn off ‘eARC’ on the LG B9?

Surely this is a bug? Seems a bit weird that DTS comes up as unsupported audio when eARC is on, but appears all fine (and in 5.1) when it’s off.

It’s not the end of the world (much prefer this to no DTS support at all), but it’s a bit annoying having to keep switching it on/off every time I play DTS content.

    I’m not sure whether I misread that post you linked to, but my TV is the B9 so supports DTS passthrough and eARC.

    So it should be playing DTS without me needing to turn eARC off.

    Maybe it’s an issue with the TV firmware then? I have the LG C9 TV, firmware version 05.10.25 and DTS 5.1 works whether I set HDMI-2 to Arc or eARC. (I have my Digital Sound Out set to pass-through and the DTS codec is set on the Blu-ray player in my case).

      Hello, I’m excited to get DTS working on some of my movies, but for some reason not all of them work. DTS-MA 5.1 movies ouput DTS 5.1 Surround with no issues. However, when I play DTS-MA 7.1 movies, I get Dolby Digital 2.1. Any ideas why? I assumed both DTS-MA 5.1 and DTS-MA 7.1 would downgrade to DTS 5.1 Surround. Thanks in advanced.

       

      Here’s my setup

      TV: Sony X900H, passthrough enabled in audio settings

      Soundbar: Sonos Arc plugged in eARC input

      Source: MakeMKV Bluray rips running on my NAS

      Software: Plex in native TV software, had to change output to optical to get any 5.1 audio
