Hello,
I'm having an issue with getting stereo audio to play through my Nvidia Shield. I'm able to pass through Surround Sound audio when watching media in Kodi, but I'm unable to stream stereo audio, be it music or a video that is encoded in stereo. I encountered the same issue in Netflix, Pandora, and YouTube. In addition, system sounds won't even play (such as the beep when running the audio/video sync).
I have swapped ports on my TV and receiver, reseated all connections, reset default settings to no resolve. Stereo audio does not play on TV when directly connected to the Shield.
This issue started before I updated to ver.3.3 and persisted after. This is the first time I have had any issue since I bought the shield last year.
I did stream a game from my PC last week, but that is the only thing that I have done differently and I know stereo audio worked before that.
Any ideas you have would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
So, I got this fixed. My shield is connected to my TV and audio is then passed to my receiver. It's a 4K tv with HDMI 2.0 ports, receiver isn't 4K compatible. Hooked the shield up directly to receiver, stereo audio worked. Hooked it back up to the TV to confirm TV was issue and everything works again. It's fixed, so I won't ask questions.
