which codec?
If you have a custom codec which supports the codec, it won't be passed through.
can you collect a bug report immediately after playing the video that has issues?
Anyhow, in the next version, we will add an option to prefer audio passthrough over internal decoders.
viedo code is x265
play video use HW no video, audio ok
HW+ video OK, audio not work!
I have the same question (problem). I'm using MX player PRO on my TV POS 9002.
When I use HW Decoder there is DD and DTS audio but 4k HEVC 10 bit HDR 23.976 DTS and DD files are stuttering.
When I use HW + Decoder 4k HEVC 10 bit 23.976 DTS and DD files are smooth but there is no 5.1 audio in my Amplituner (it doesn't see DD and DTS - only Stereo).
MX Player team... Please do something with this. No other program (KODI, SPMC, VLC, ARCHOS) can play this files smoothly. Only MX Player but only in HW + without 5.1 sound
Best regards
Today was a new MX Player update with passthrough option.
I was very happy at the beginning becouse DD started to work but... sound and video stutters every couple of seconds in almost every movie I have (but not in everyone. Some plays good I have passthrough option checked.
There is no DTS passthrough in HW+. Only in HW.
It was so close...
When I uncheck passthrough there is no 5.1 DD sound from Ampli I don't know what to do
Thank You for this but I think it needs a little more testing.
Best regards for all The Team

MX Player checks the capability of HDMI receiver. When you select this option, If the receiver reports that they support DTS or DD, it will automatically use pass-through mode even if there is internal decoder. maybe your amplifier doesn't report the capability of the DTS decoding.
In HW decoder, there is no control on our side. It will automatically pass the audio to HDMI if it's unsupported.

Hi
Thx for answer
When I play some DD movies sometimes there is audio passthrought...sometimes there isn't. I must try couple Times.
When I play in passthrough there is 80% chances that sound and video will be stuttering but...
I have a solution...I play in passthrough mode and when video and audio stutters i change sound to SW mode and for some time I uncheck SW mode. When this doesn't help I try to rewind movie to the beginning couple of Times. It usually starts to workafter couple of times.
This is my way to Play 4K HEVC 10 BIT HDR movies in DD 5.1 on my Philips POS 9002 and Pioneer VSX - 422 Amplituner.
DTS doesn't work in passthrough mode at all
It works in HW mode but video is stuttering. Video is stuttering in every Android TV player: VLC, ARCHOS, KODI, SPMC and integrated Video Player.
Thank You MX Player Devs for a great program thanks to which i can watch movies on my TV.
Best regards

Any chance getting HW+ to support passthrough audio?
Bump, so many years later and this highly popular video player stays so severely flawed to the bones for people with a proper surround sound system with DTS/Dolby support... Kodi has no issues with it all but somehow MX Player can't seem to solve their issues
2021 update
still no 5.1 sound in mx player in passthrough mode
all the options, codecs and upadates are set, but still "stereo" on reciver display
no DD, no DTS, no 5.1 and no DD Plus either

Yep and I just posted this issue not realizing that this was posted. HW+ is broken with Passthrough and they don’t even mention that it is an issue that they are working on. What a joke.

got the mx support answer:
"We regret to inform you that MX Player currently doesn't support audio-passthrough over SPDIF. However, you will be pleased to know that it's a part of our roadmap and will be supported in the future if found viable. Meanwhile, your patience is appreciated"

Hello,
I hope someone knows a solution for the following.
I am using MX player on my NVIDIA Shield TV.
And I mainly use MX player to play video files that are stored on my network disk.
I am required to use the HW+ mode to get Dolby Atmos audio working.
This is all working fine, the only thing that is not working is fast forwarding and rewinding.
When I am using the same file on a USB stick it works fine, so it seems to be a issue when playing the files with the HW+ decoder over the network.
Does someone know a solution for this ?
I already installed the customer codecs btw.
Thanks in advance !

Network playback buffering in general is a known issue, not specific to any of the playback methods. The developer aims to fix it in version 1.8 whenever that's ready.

Sorry for the late reply, I was very busy with some family matters.
I made one mistake in my first post, I was using the normal HW decoder.
The HW+ decoder does fast forward and rewind, but does not give me the dolby Atmos sound I described earlier.
I don't know if this changes the situation or answer ?
I will reproduce the issue and upload the logs when I'm back home from work.
Thanks for all the help !
PS. I already tried the alpha version (1.8.0) of MX Player, but the issue persisted.

HW uses android's native mediaplayer api.
Seems that your system doesn't have native dolby decoders. But, your audio system supports dolby decoding. In HW decoder audio might be passed to audio system. But, in H/W+ it will use system decoders to decode. So, if your device doesn't support that codec, it will use ffmpeg to decode (i.e, SW audio). If you use cutom codec you will get stereo output. Else you won't get any audio.
Only solution is to get audio pass through feature. It's expected in further minor updates to 1.8. (i.e 1.8.x).

Thanks, that is a very good explanation !
I did not really understand the difference between the 3 different decoders, but now I do, so thank you very much for that !
I noticed when I use the native video player on my Shield TV it does play Dolby atmos, but it has the same issue with rewinding/fast forwarding.
So because HW on MX Player uses the native media player API the buffering is not working ?
I suppose I just have to wait till audio passthrough is available in 1.8.
Or buffering will be available in the native media player.
Hi,
The release notes says that it Support HDMI passthrough of Audio HD codecs.
But I can not figure out how to configure it.

HDMI pass through is automatically used when the connected device can decode Audio HD codecs like ac3, TrueHD, DTS, etc.

Yes. HDMI Passthrough will be used when the codec is not supported by the MX Player & The same is supported by the device connected through HDMI.
We will improve it further in future to have more controls on the user side.

Hi dev. I tried with many 4k with AC3 or DTS streaming.. but i can't get audio work..
I use MX player 1.9.8 pro on my sony 9005 android tv, connected to the ampli by HDMI/ARC cable.
In codec menu, i check any kind of hardware supported codec.. and deselect SW render (only HW+ for video/audio).. but can't hear anything from my speaker..
With other app (for local file streamiing), amplifier automatically detect the audio format and give me on it display the correct format (DTS or DD).
With MX player pro and local/iptv streaming, i can't get it work.
Any idea?
Thank'you!!!

Hi
I must say that in 1.9.8 with HW+ there is no 5.1 sound passthrough to my Apmplituner No DD and no DTS.
In HW there is 5.1 passthrough to my Ampli but only DTS 5.1. Amplituner sees Dolby Digital but plays only in 2.0 - I don't know why but there is a problem with DD.
Best regards

Unfortunately, no. The only way is attempting to force pass through even if the hardware doesn't report the decoding capability. We will highlight this with our development and will get it prioritized for you.

How the work is going? When should except Update with Passthrough on MX Player?
Hdmi passthrough
Hi everybody,
I tried to play movies using default video player of the Android tv and it supports 5.1 Dolby digital passthrough via HDMI ARC. But passthrough using 3rd party video players like MX player, Kodi doesnt seems to decode the 5.1 audio where as PCM works just fine.
My TV: TCL 55 P8
AUDIO System: SONY HT IV300
Hi all,
I have also problem with audio passthrough over HDMI, I try to run Dolby Atmos on my Nvidia Shield, problem what I faced now is when I have video with Dolby Atmos it need HW+ to work but passthrough work only on HW decoder,
Also I cannot select subtitles from mkv video with HW decoder,
MX Player v1.25.8 (AndroidTV)
Device: Nvidia Shield
Audio: Yamaha RX-A2080
On going issue
This has been an on going issue with MX for years, I reported this over 3 years ago and still no solution. Stock reply is they're looking at it!
A simple forced pass through like VLC would do the job for most users with an amp but it's yet to come.
Even the pro version won't allow forced pass through.
Is this issue solved? What im looking for is play dolby digital movie in my android smart tv and get 5.1 sound from my sony e6100 home theater via HDMI ARC. It seems MX cant handle this.
Necro join. MX sends everything as dd2.0 regardless of any settings.
As mentioned above this has been a issue for years. When you mention it on other forums the common response is "Install the codecs" which doesnt work in this situation. A year or so ago I sent mxplayer support a email and got the arrogant response of "Mxplayer app is the ONLY app that properly detects if hdmi-passthrough should be enabled, otherwise very very bad things can happen." Well guess Im damn lucky my receiver hasnt burst into flames when pretty much any other player in existence uses it. Either the developer doesnt have the skill to correct this, or doesnt care. In my search I did find a similiar app that I hadnt heard of that works very well. Vimu Player.
After update my MX player to 1.9.3 on my sony Android TV I saw new option in change logs Passthrough audio but when I am using MX player for playing AAC 5.1 and AC3 5.1 movie sound through my Sony HT- IV 300 home theater the output still stereo not in surround so how to use Passthrough in MX player or is it any issue to Passthrough audio in Android tv version

AAC audio pass through is not supported at the moment.
But, ac3 should work. If you have custom codecs, kindly remove it & check again.

Pass through will be done only when there is no system or internal decoders.
Are you using any custom codecs? If you are using any custom codecs, audio won't be passed through as there is a FFmpeg side decoder. If you are not using any custom codecs, probably your system itself has support for ac3/dts.
Anyway, It will be improved in future.

Hello
We are November 2021, and the problem remains. I have a Sony XR65A90J and while the native Sony video player sends 5.1, MX Player sends only 2.0 for the same files obviously.
Please help
Hi,
I am facing one problem with the subject.
I set the following settings in MX Player Pro
1. Remove (or do not install external codecs (modified ffmpeg library)
2. Turn off HW+
3. Select all Hardware accelerated codecs in HW+ video and HW+ audio codecs.
Then pass-through DTS works but basically not watchable too much distorted audio, video pauses, freezing etc..
4. Turn off HW audio track selectable
Then pass-through DTS works. video sort of watchable but video seeking is not working anymore + it pauses every few seconds
Is it possible somehow to fix video seeking on nvida shield with Turned off HW audio track selectable or to fix DTS audio distortion with HW audio track selectable on?
Thank you in advance.
I cannot believe that passthorugh is working for everyone but me or nobody uses it at all with MX Player?
come on people! )
HW accell AC3 + DTS passthrough. DTS doesn't work!
plus broken time seek (fast forward, rewind) on all streams.

Is it a local video or network stream?
HW decoder basically uses android mediaplayer API implemented on your device. If it is a network stream ( specifically HLS or DASH) it may happen due to adaptive playback. It will automatically select the best stream based on the current bandwidth. In HW+ or SW decoder, it will always play the first stream despite the bandwidth availability.
The problem occurs with local videos, mkv with ddp or dts sound. It is quite strange: Videos look like being projected on a screen with retention problem with hw. With hw+ videos are fine, but no sound
