So this gets stranger...I thought I would try a DVD today to see how upscaling works, and the sound issue I have with built in apps was same for DVD. Cuts in and out...But everything works fine with 4k Blu Ray disks!...get Atmos and everything....there must be something wrong in my settings.So thought I would revisit the built in apps as I'm curious to see what difference the HDR optimiser makes on Netflix content. I sometimes turn it on and others leave it off depending on how much difference it makes.
So does anyone have any suggestions to solve my problem with audio when using the build in apps? Works perfectly for disc's and file playback, but when using Netflix, Youtube etc. the sounds turns on and off, cuts in and out, for all audio, 5.1, Atmos etc.
UB420 audio/video > to Samsung Q70R soundbar via HDMI....then Soundbar to TV via HDMI (aRC). Have reset UB420 but no change........
Any advice appreciated.
I did notice if I lower 4:2:2 to 4:2:0 the issue is slightly better (that is sound is a bit more consistent but still drops in and out) so I'm wondering could this be a bandwidth issue with my HDMI cable? It's rated 24 Gbps and connects from Audio/Video out of Panny to Samsung Q70R soundbar > HDMI aRC to TV aRC (samsung one connect box)
I really like the quality of the player but can pretty much only use it for 4K Blu Ray disc and USB file playback as sound issue exists on everything else....suggestions appreciated....
