I have an LG C1 with an Earc port. I have all setting set up how google searches say.Game sounds are not playing properly apart from in dolby digital.
Example the witcher 3 i have 100s of hours on multiple platforms played i know how the game is ment to sound. With the beam 2 using 5.1 uncompressed all the ambient sounds are very hard to hear this is the same in atmos to.
I even sent the beam 2 in for replacement. They sent me a new 1 same problem.
Please understand I am not talking about sound quality the beam sounds great using lg tv apps but games other than in dolby digital sound dead.
Atmospheric sounds like weather effects rain etc and the wind the hussle and bussle are almost inaudible.
Tried Cyberpunk 2077 night city in any setting other than DD sounds empty you can hear cars driving and honking and music not much else even on a crowded street.
Hogwarts legacy the great hall filled with students you can hardly hear it unless its on DD but the problem with DD is its compressed and not very dynamic sounding all the noise seems to blend together and directional sounds are hard to hear.
Now when i unplug my beam and use the tv speakers alot of these problems go away but they are tv speakers that are at the back of the tv and the sound quality suffers cos they are tv speakers but all the problems above are not there its just limited in the normal way modern tv speakers are these days.
