So far I've only been able to get 2.1 audio over HDMI using a variety of apps playing mkv files with AC3 or DTS. Has anyone been able to output 5.1 audio? I'm trying to figure out whether the problem is a tablet limitation, the apps I'm using, or my admittedly ancient receiver.
Apps tried:
BS Player Free
Dice
MX Player

Surely someone out there has taken note of whether 5.1 audio is being output from the TF700. In fact, I'm hoping it's my receiver's fault that I'm not getting it. Gives me another reason to upgrade. :silly:
I was not aware the 700 could do that???
I'll see if I can find a cable for it and hook it up to the ol' 3311ci tonight.
How can you tell which one it is using? I'll test when I get hone with my setup

On my receiver I have a display that shows what speakers are in use, as well as whether it's using PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS. YMMV
Bump to see if anyone has tested this yet.

Hi !
I've seen a test review on the net that was stating that they used an mkv with AC3 and it was working ... check your decoder, I know it is working
Thanks for that. I should finally have time to test with libffmpeg on Dice tonight.

Still not working even with the Dice plugin. My receiver is over 10 years old and is getting audio from an optical split on a Monoprice HDMI switch, and does support Dolby Digital and DTS, but will only play 2 channel PCM from the tablet.
Can anyone else try to confirm first hand that 5.1 works? I'd really like to know if it's the tab or my ancient receiver.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Yes it does
It even outputs 7.1 with Spotify premium on my Onkyo TX-NR808.
I've not tried for movies but I guess it should not be an issue.
I haven't gotten this to work either. I use Handbrake to convert my video. Did anyone get this to work?

Hi
I'm currently using a windows media centre PC to watch films and listen to music etc on my TV. Its on it's last legs and I was thinking of trying to replace it with some kind of android setup. other than Google TV has any one had an android box plugged into their TV to use for watching movies and Netflix etc? I'd like to be able to control it from my android phone or tablet as well as with a keyboard and mouse.

I use an mk802 hdmi stick but it gets hot after three or four hours, there is also the upcoming console called ouya which is $99 and will make a good media centre as the xmbc media app was announced for it today.

Maybe the upcoming Ouya (which is mainly meant to be an Android-based gaming console) would be a good fit for this?
EDIT: Beaten!
Thanks guys. I was just looking at the ouya. It looks very interesting. I'm tempted to donate on kickstarter. Do you know if we will have access to Google play with this or do you think it will be restricted to a ouya market much the same as the amazon kindle? Mind you it's rooted out of the box so I can imagine it won't be long until someone had cm10 running on it
Thanks

There's the Nexus Q, but it's very expensive and only streams media. There are some Android TV boxes with USB and SD input. They're not perfect as they mostly run Froyo/Gingerbread and stretch them out to the TV, meaning apps like Netflix would run the mobile version which would be pretty low resolution, but there are some ICS ones now. They seem good, and affordable, some come with motion remotes to work as the mouse, others with an actual mouse.
Just search for 'Android TV Box'.

The raspberry-pi is an interesting idea. I'm a little worried it will be under powered though. I like the spec on the upcoming ouya. Just a shame it doesn't have google play access out the box.

Both my original and exchanged units from Amazon have Bluetooth audio that lags behind video by at least a second. This phenomenon is not experienced on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 or my Galaxy Nexus. Turning off wifi does not help. I sincerely hope this can be fixed.
What content are you using to check for the lag?

Try any MKV with BS player. It lags the most for me.
Try a HW accelerated video player like Dice Player. Or try to connect by HDMI to your media output device.
I have the same issue with my Nexus 7 and others do too. Playing videos with YouTube seem fine, but playing my own videos with MX Player, and I just tried Dice player too, have audio lag with bluetooth. Those videos also work fine on my Galaxy Nexus over bluetooth.
Seems like either something with Tegra 3 or ASUS.
For me Bluetooth lag exists for all types of video including YouTube.
I just tested on my C6O device and I have no bluetooth lag on netflix, I think this is a QA issue.
Edit: Tried with some avi and mkv files and I do hear a half second lag. The effect is most pronounced on BS Player, Dice Player is a little better. I hope this is just a software issue :/

I get no noticeable BT lag on anything, I didn't on my Prime either. I'm a night owl and have multiple sets of BT headphones and that I use with various devices and in my experience some headphones are MUCH more lag prone than others. There are TWO components where lag can be increased the sender and the receiver (any system that involves transmission of signals will necessarily have lag (even reality has lag, think thunder and lightning) the question is, is it noticeable). Everyone seems to blame the transmitter but the decode and reconstruction of the signal at the receiver can cause lag too. Get a known good set of phones as a first step if at all possible when trying to determine if the sender is laggy.
Same here I use my BT headset to listen to movies or streaming shows from Netflix, Hulu, Hbogo. Works great with no lag or buffering. Even when I'm in my bedroom and router is in my living room

I hate to exchange mine over this. My second infinity has a much better screen. But the lag is unacceptable. What might be causing this variation among tablets?

workaround
I too have the bluetooth headphone problem. I have been able to rectify this by using XBMC to watch my videos with as i can offset the audio. I find by offsetting the audio ahead around .6 seconds does the trick.
I have, for some time, regularly watched TV shows during workouts on an iPad using BT headsets to avoid the bouncing cable.
I recently switched to using my TF700 for this but there is a noticeable lag between lip movements and spoken words reaching my ears that is *not* an issue on the iPad.
So is this an Android issue or specific to TF700?
Is there any way to fix it?
This is using Google's Movie Play app with purchased content.

no this only nvidia chips set i have the samsung galaxy 3 and the tablet 2 android 4.04 no problem running snap dragon and texas chip set no problem i am taking mine back next week
Ok, so I kept reading about this bluetooth lag and how some are saying that it's an Nvidia problem, so I tested with both my TF700 and my Nexus 7 using the same apps (tried both DicePlayer and the Play Movies app) and found that the issue is *not* Nvidia, since there is no bluetooth lag on the Nexus 7, which also uses Tegra 3. I get the lag from both apps going to the same bluetooth device on the TF700, but no lag on the same bluetooth device on my Nexus 7.
So, it obviously a *software* issue that can be resolved (and hopefully will be).

I too have updated to JB and am experiencing BT audio lag on both a set of stereo speakers and an ear peice on everything except the you tube app. Games, DLNA movies, Netflix and local movies all lag. I was extremely happy with my Infinity until this. Now I just want to send it back to Amazon.
Is there absolutely no fix for this?
Well, I'm glad I didn't wait for the JB update to return mine. Now if only the PadPhone 2 had a keyboard and no BT audio lag!
For now I'm stuck with an iPad 2 for movies. Works well, but zero tinker factor.
SOLUTION for VLC player
SOLUTION. In VLC go to preferences >audio output>audio track native
Completely exit VNC a launch it again.
No lag muhehe...
(this was done on Nexus 7
the link goes nowhere.
Hey Guys,
So I converted a bunch of movies to H.264 in AVI container to use the hardware decoder but the video gets messed up after the 4GB point in the movie ( plays perfectly up until then). Anyone notice this and/or know a fix?
Playing from SD and MicroSD with exFAT FS.

BSPlayer is the answer. Also, don't convert. Our device plays mkvs and stuff fine. Don't risk your converter messing something up in the process. Most probably the encoders problem and not the decoders.

I suppose it could be the converter but it doesn't seem likely... When I'm home I'm gonna try converting and pushing directly to the pad to rule out FS errors.

Yesterday I hooked up mine with HDMI to our TV --- unless it is just me, I might have found a quirk
at first I had no sound, and wasn't able to get sound by turning up the sound on the tablet....... I was running BS Player testing a movie -- I often have my sound turned down/off ..... and I found I had to turn my sound up BEFORE launching BS Player ...... then I got sound no problem.
don't know if that is your problem or not....... but that's my experience
I've had no problems with sound on hdmi. I have read about cable problems. If your problem comes back you might try a different cable. Run a youtube test to see if its a program quirk.
I just doubled checked to make sure. YouTube sound just fine.

Yeah, I tried several programs, including youtube, to no avail. One thing I didn't think of at the time was that it may be a TV handshaking issue. The only time I ever use my tablet (and my previous ones too) for HDMI out was in hotel rooms. So of course we're talking about a different TV every time. This was the first time I tried with this tablet. I will try again soon with another TV.
I've tested on two different tvs. My Samsung adjusted to screen size when in the right mode. Acer tv masked part of picture and i was unable to change. This masking, i believe, is caused by infinity's screen resolution, sound on both. Lets hope jb includes hdmi screen adjustment settings.

I think what you're referring to is overscan. There should be a setting on the TV for that.
