Hi. Quick overview. Have a LG something or other TV, a DMP-UB400, Onkyo NR686, Q Acoustics 7.1 setup ect. I had never got ATMOS working since Jan when I got the receiver. Having always used optical in preference believing it to be best from the old days had not realised the bandwidth limitation
Got ATMOS working for the first time in past couple of days
thanks to advice on here to use HDMI.
For those having DLNA audio issues with AAC encoded files, there is a bit of freeware (TFM Audio Tool) that will reencode in AC3 or DTS which in my experience fixes the 'no audio' issue. OK if you have the will. ( I have noticed some AAC files now playing via HDMI :S)
I am still trying to get TRUEHD working from MKV files (of owned disks, liking the convenience). I read somewhere that setting up the Network Drive option to Windows shares helps the issue, but am unable to get it to see my Win 10 shares. I see that the device name is DMP-UB400. How would I configure the firewall to allow it? I have noted your comments above btw, but am curious.
Hope this is useful to someone.
