Hello,

So i just got myself a mi box s (which has an inbuilt chromecast) and im trying to play 5.1 video streams and cast them to the chromecast. There is video but no sound or just some strange cracking noise. Im pretty sure it has to do with some missing codecs.

I googled the problem and found another redit post that discribed the issue pretty accurately. In this case though, the user tried to stream a local video file with 5.1 sound. The solution there, was to do so via plex. I have tried this solution but plex wont play any stream that has 5.1 audio. It plays stereo streams without any issues.

Has any of you ever dealt with this issue? If yes, id be gratefull about some help.

Thanks in advance
