Hey guys I have problems with the output: I play with DicePlayer a movie with mkv, 5.1 AC3 or DTS and want to output it with microHDMI to my Home Cinema. However, I only managed stereo sound output.
Can the TF700T output 5.1 over HDMI?

I'm trying to figure out the best media player or TF700 settings for output of video from the TF700 on my TV. Right now I'm using MX player but it doesn't seem to support output of multi-channel sound. Can someone recommend a good player (including if a particular codec is required) to improve the output capability of the TF700? Preferably something that supports both Dolby Digital and DTS. Also, has anyone found a player that allows changing the output resolution? Jelly Bean no longer allows you to scale. I'd love to change the output from 1920 x 1200 to 1080p or 720p. Thanks.
For the TF700, can someone please recommend a media player that allows output of multichannel audio (i.e. 5.1) over the HDMI connection? I would like to play movies through a Samsung Home Theater System and MX Player is only outputting Stereo (I think) no matter what the audio format is. A separate codec would work as an option too. Any help or fix would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
i just purchased MX Player Pro.
Will there be an option to output/pass through 5.1 Sound (ac3, DTS) over HDMI?
I am missing this option because my AV-Receiver can decode 5.1 ac3 and dts-Audio.

....i dont use the PRO version... but if it's support 5.1 Output i will pay for it....(output from my TV with optical digital connection)
At the moment there is no Streaming Player (afaik) with 5.1 Support on Android... using MX Player on FireTV Stick and it's only Stereo ...thats ugly.. Streaming Movies vom Database or LiveTV in Stereo if you see 5.1 Movies....
Only Working methode is if you put MP4 Videofiles directly on the Stick an Play it with ES File Explorer.. then its Dolby Digital...but thats no way ^^
I know it is a bit overkill for a tablet, but considering X1's performance (same gpu,just more cores), it would be nice to know if the K1 can passthrough Hd audio via it's hdmi port.
Anyone tried ?
HI there! I'm very sorry but I wasn't active in this forum at XDA before now. I've been experimenting with this topic for some time now.
YES, The Shield tablets (regardless of versions) can passthrough bit-perfect sound, both stereo or 5.1 (and higher, depending on your stereo equipment).
So here's the deal:
1. You'll need an HDMI audio extractor. I recommend Monoprice's HDMI audio extractors, although there are slightly less expensive models out there, you can't really trust their specs.
2. A standard HDMI audio extractor can passthrough both digital (coaxial or TOSLINK S/PDIF) or digital-to-analog out. For surround sound you'll want an HDMI audio extractor with surround sound outputs.
Essentially it comes down to the media player you'll be using.
I've tested MX Player (with the custom codec loaded), VLC Player for Android, and Kodi. All can do passthrough IF you're using an HDMI extractor that will be identified as such (stereo-only or surround-sound capable) via HDMI. This critical.
Older versions of Kodi they called the "****ty" builds used LPCM bit-hacking to force a passthrough via HDMI. Newer releases require that a HDMI device handshake occurs so the media player will allow an appropriate passthrough to occur.
Unless you will be playing .MP4 files w/ 5.1 surround sound, I recommend MX Player for most music and video files. Passthrough works well on it when set up correctly. VLC is ok too, but the interface leaves something to be desired in my opinion.
Kodi can decode/passthrough 5.1 and higher via HDMI from .MP4 and other files although the user interface is less simplistic.
Hi all,
After spending hours looking for answers on google, I am posting this question here. First I wilI explain a bit about my audio video setup.
I have Samsung Note 8 with Mx player 1.13.2 version on it. I have downloaded an mkv file from internet and played it on my Sony W805 Full HD TV through Samsung Smartview. The audio format of mkv file is AC3.
My TV is connected to the AV receiver (Herman Kardon 1610S) through ARC as well as optical cable for sound. I have my JBL home cinema 610 hooked with the receiver for surround sound. Now my question is
"Am I getting the lossless 5.1 surround sound while playing the mkv file on Note 8 and watching on my TV through Smartview?"
