I have had my sonos beam since the launch in denmark, and are quite glad for the "wireless" surround i can have to my play:1 as rear speaker.
however, it annoys me in my setup that i have to use my "build in" plex / netflix app on my samsung TV to get 5.1 signal output.
Whenever i use netflix app / plex on the shield, The sonos Beam only plays stereo
My setup is:
TV: Samsung UE49KS7005
Nvidia Shield newest 16gb version
Sonos Beam+2play:1 rear speaker.
Cable:
HDMI ARC between TV and beam
Shield connected to HDMI port on samsung HDMI input.
When ever i play Netflix, plex movies on the build in app on my TV, the sound is decoded fine to Dolby digital 5.1
everything i play through shield is stereo.
is there no solution to this i have tryed to force surround output on shield, etc.
triet some "PCM" and "Bitstream" setting on samsung TV sound-setting, but always stereo only.
unless i find a plex movie, that has AC5.1 standard. then its surround but it wount chance a DTS movie to Dolby digital, Like my Samsung TV decodes.
Is there a solution here?
