Hi all
I have a Samsung UE55AU8000 TV, which is connected a Ray via optical cable. I use the Plex app on the TV to watch my movies, which are stored on my Synology DS224+ NAS. My movie collection is encoded with HEVC.
I like a lot of old films from the 40s and 50s and many of these have AAC Mono audio. When I play one, there is no sound from the Ray :( To get sound, I have to go in to the TV Settings > Sound > Expert Settings, and change Digital Output Audio Format from ‘Auto’ to ‘PCM’ and I’m getting really fed up of having to do this.
Can someone explain:
- The reason for this; I’d expect mono to be a fairly simple thing to deal with, and regardless of how many speakers there are, they should all simply play the same mono signal. Would that not be a better solution?
- If my solution is the correct one, if not, is there another way of dealing with this?
- I have ordered an Apple TV 4Kand intend to use the Plex app on that instead of the one of the TV. Not for this reason especially, but because it’s supposed to be a lot faster than the TV Plex app, and just a generally more enjoyable experience. Am I still going to be dealing with this same problem when that is connected?
Any help is appreciated - thanks!
