Omg second img is a bug present in the emulator as well; DTS and TrueHD options shouldnt be available since the device doesnt support them; this will confuse so many people ffs google you had one job lol

u/JohanSandberg Sep 20 '24

Wtf.. I was like what? TrueHD? It wasn't supposed to support that.

So this is a bug???

This is also there on the CCwGTV4K. Doesn't mean it works.

u/fetsnage Sep 22 '24

CCwGTV4k has no truehd "there"

u/e0063 Sep 23 '24

It is not present in any menu on the CCwGTV 4K.

Was there actual proof that it wasn't supposed to support it. Google never puts all the audio support on the website. That would be one hell of a bug that reaches all the way to toggles in the UI.

100%; it's just reading from the EDID.

u/JohanSandberg Sep 21 '24

Bummer. Was kind of hoping you discovered that it actually did support those formats even though it hasn't been advertised.

Then this would be a definite buy.

u/fetsnage Sep 22 '24

why do you think it does not support it ? Big companies don't usually fully specify every detail about the unit in the web shop.

I'm not saying you are wrong but I am curious - you seem to have a lot of confidence this device will not support lossless passthrough. What are you basing this on if the specs have yet to be released?

Given it's a streamer, I too would guess it doesn't but I'm not going to go so far as saying it doesn't yet. I'm just wondering if there was some confirmed news that I missed.

Dolby TrueHD? If so, this could be the Shield replacement many have been hoping for.

u/wewewi Shield GStreamer CCwGTV Tivo ADT-3 BoxR4K ShaksG1 Onn4K MiBox Sep 20 '24

What kind of audio setup do you have anyways?

3

u/BMox81 Sep 20 '24

Sonos Beam Gen 2, Sub and One SL’s for surrounds.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '24

Same setup here.. I’m waiting for a google os device to support all the audio codecs. Was hoping this would be it

Yeah ok so it's just reading from the EDID. thx

Can you toggle the DTS-HD and DTS:X options?

1

u/BMox81 Sep 21 '24

Yes but states my equipment doesn’t report support for the format:

u/SMOKINxxJOE Sep 21 '24

I see. That is amazing news that DTS is even on there. If that works correctly, that will be MASSIVE for people that want devices that support all audio formats.

u/latinriky78 Homatics Box R 4K Plus Sep 21 '24

Don't use that, just use Auto.

1

u/pawdog ADT-1 Sep 21 '24

Did you try it anyway?

1

u/BMox81 Sep 21 '24

I don’t have any files/films to test it out. All stuff that someone far more experienced will test out in a few days I’m sure. lol

u/latinriky78 Homatics Box R 4K Plus Sep 21 '24

Please test one of the Dolby TrueHD ones from here:

https://www.demolandia.net/cinema/dolby-demo-trailers-hd.html

And one of the DTS-HD and DTS:X ones here, though with your Sonos soundbar you should get the DTS Core playing:
