I have been playing with HDMI out. Using official Samsung adapter EPL3FHU and TV Panasonic TH-42PX80E. So far I cannot get out audio consistently.
When connected first time, I had system sound off, so I could see picture, but no audio (form system) as expected. When playing movie with BSPlayer, VLC, or MX I got audio out of built-in speaker though (and not through TV).
Reconnected with system sound on, I could get system plonks and boings out of TV. Playing songs from Neutron was fine as well. Even playing original Samsung demo video via VLC produced sound on TV.
Then I tried one .mkv with DTS (which plays fine in BSPlayer with sound on internal speaker) and the sound through HDMI stopped working. Then I tried again Neutron, VLC, but I could not get even the apps that were working, working them again. System sounds are fine though.
And so far I was not able to recover.
It looks like there are some incompatibilities, probably between some players, sound formats which break one part of sound path (but not all, as system clicks are still transported correctly). And this break seems to be kind of permanent, until some reset. But simple reboot does not solve this.
I wonder what I might be missing.
I can partially reply to myself. The problem is that some players (it seems BSPlayer, and MX do that) cannot play DTS through HDMI (though BSPlayer can play it through internal speaker) and for some reason it resets volume settings for multimedia to zero (i.e. no sound). Once I realized that and "reenabled" volume for multimedia, it seems fine for Neutron, VLC and system sounds.
VLC can even play DTS through HDMI out, but for some reasons suffers from sound being out of sync with video.
So now the question remains, what is good video player, which can get out DTS through HDMI out.
Have you been able to get multichannel audio out HDMI?

I have tried PS3 media server, XBMC, and Plex on the server side.
I have tried meridian player, stock player, plex player, and dice player on the mobile player side.
Wi-fi connectrion speed is over 60mbps
Movies are all original blueray rips pre-encoded to .mp4
Sound is fine, video keeps up, but its an extremely low frame rate. If you can imagine someone talking with intermittent volume cutting out (so it sounds like theyare skipping, like when you try to fake your cell phone signal thats what my video is doing. it ONLY does it with media server movies, On device media, internet media, and youtube app media all play fine. I have no other issues with bluetooth or music streaming with any other app/device. its STRICTLY trying to play back media from my server
I have disabled smart screen, enabled forced gpu rendering, and turned off any animations.
Any ideas?
What resolution your rips? What settings for mobile do you have set in Plex?
I appologize for never re-opening this thread! It got moved and i forgot all about it. the rips were all 1080p. But as I said, pre-encoded to mp4 so no processing needed to convert the files.. over time this seems to have corrected itself, Im not sure how or why but the problem just stopped one day and it was working fine... go figure...
Hi! Loving my new phone with everyday that passes by. But, I'm having a really weird issue.
I have a music track (Hotel California) in flac (16bit) format on my phone. Although it does play on google music, there is no sound output in either the speaker or the headphone jack. But when I use my bluetooth headphones, it plays flawlessly. Interestingly this is happening to only that one particular track.
I have 90% of my music on the phone in flac and even the 5.1 channel flac files play perfectly. Apart from this one song! (this happens with only google music)
But when I use Neutron Music player, the song plays. But again not with google music. AAAHHH! It's frustrating!!!
P.S. It is happening with some other tracks too. Perhaps hardware decoding?
Today i was checking my 2days old pixel 2 xl.. and found something weired. Very noticable at full volume..
The speakers ( both top and bottom) plays music with crackling sound. It happens with all players.. including mx and youtube.
Seems like playing some low bitrate audio/video even when i am playing 4k hdr10 webm file ( which i downloaded to check hdr)
I thought it was due to some audio mods from xposed.. so i removed it and check again.. its still there..
Did someone have the same issue?
I can blast youtube videos or music at full blast and it sounds fine but yes, others have reported distorted audio output from the speakers on these phones.
I had my first device sent back for this reason. I haven't noticed it yet on my second one.
Hello all. I searched up and down the forum (and google). No one has the same issue.
Current setup:
Nexus 7 (2013)
Resurrection Remix v.6.0.0 (RR-O-v6.0.0-20180210-flo-Unofficial)
Elementalx N7 7.00 (all stock settings just turned on otg+charge)
Running through OTG --> USB hub and DAC in car
Issue: MP3's stutter, lag, crackle and pop during playback.
So far:
Tried Several music player apps (blacplayer, mediamonkey, musicolet, VLC, Kodi etc.
Tried 8+ different ROMS, same issue.
In VLC tried increasing the buffer, turning on/off all hardware acceleration settings. Same
Blue Ray rip .MP4 files play perfectly
YouTube plays perfectly
Spotify audio plays perfectly
Any experiences?
If you tried that many ROMS and players then the problem is with the DAC, unlikely, or the mp3s themselves. I'm also assuming you didn't have the same kernel installed on each ROM.
I did try a few older versions of elementalx. Do you think a DAC would have problems with a specific format? .MP4 files work, YouTube, and Spotify work well also. I will try connecting it directly to the amp without the DAC. Just wondering if it was software related. I can't fit it inside the dash attached to the headphone jack, which is why the DAC is necessary.
thanks for the response.
Unlikely the DAC since it's taking straight digital signals and doing it's own conversion. I'm leaning more toward the tablet not liking the mp3 decoding.
I haven't used a mp3 in many years so I don't know how the Nexus 7 actually responds to them. The fact that it handles mp4s okay also makes me lean that way.

fr4nk1yn, any hints as to something that would do decoding perhaps some software package? Those same MP3 files run great on my PC, Nexus 6P, Galaxy note 3 and plex. I'll try going directly to the headphone jack. Kind of a silly problem
Is there an application enabling bitperfect streaming for media files like YouTube so that no up or down sampling is done?
This exists for audio only streaming: USB player pro apk. This allows me to do upsampling in the DAC or playing NOS, very useful for hirez audio files.
Audio signal goes out on USB to my audio stereo system and video signal goes straight to my TV by hdmi
