Hi MX Team,
I am using MI TV 4A Android TV in which MX player 1.12.2 version is not passthrough AC3 or DTS audio over my 5.1 audio device.
I enabled the passthrough whenever applicable option but still the audio is stereo only
Can I get to know how I can achieve original 5.1 surround through MX player?

Hi, I'm a faithful user of this great app. Recently I have updated my tvbox to a S912, 2GB/16GB, Android 7.1.1 (coming from RK3229 1GB/8GB Android 5.1)
But in the Android 7.1.1 Settings -> Audio there is no option for 'audio outpu' ... HDMI passthrough or similar. And so, MX Player does not output the passthrough audio.
The only way I found to play videos with their original audio is Kodi (I don't like it) because it has passthrough option in their system settings.
How can I configure audio output on Android 7.1.1 and play an audio passthrough with MX Player?
Thanks!

MX Player 1.9.0 will pass the audio automatically "if the video has certain HD audio codecs & the connected HDMI device can decode it." Just be patient till we make it available for the public.
Hi,
I use the MX Player Pro to stream recorded TV-shows as well as play live tv from my enigma2 receiver.
As I use DVB-T2 in Germany, the videos codec which is used is HEVC, that works well with the MX Player Pro.
What doesn't work is the audio of some streams and recordings.
Some channels use eac3 in 2.0 and 5.1 which works with MX Player Pro 1.8.20 and custom codec 1.8.6.
Other channels use the AAC LATM codec. In 2.0 that's no problem as well, but in 5.1 the audio is stuttering.
I already had the same problem in older versions of kodi whereas new alpha builds work flawlessly.
So I figured the problem just occurs when using an older version of ffmpeg.
So I was wondering if it was possible to use a newer version of ffmpeg for the custom codec in MX Player Pro?
Cheers

Thanks for the info. MX Player 1.9.x is almost ready. We may not be able to upgrade the FFmpeg at this moment.
we have noted down your feedback. we'll work on it in future updates to 1.9.x.
Hi,
the same problem as described by jemus.
With the DVB-T2 channels in Germany, which use the AAC LATM 5.1 codec, the audio stutters.
The latest version of KODI nightly build, however, works without problems.
And even the latest version of KMPlayer from the Playstore processed AAC LATM 5.1. without stutters.
Both kodi and kmplayer are using the ffmepg library and both are working.
By the way:
The LAV codec in Windows is also based on ffmpeg and had the same problem. This was already fixed in June in the release 0.7. The reason for the audio problem should be Program Config Elements (PCE) in the AAC stream.
Maybe these hints help in solving the problem.
It is a pity that only the MXPlayer has problems with AAC LATM 5.1.
MXPlayer is my favorite player. I therefore hope for a solution of the problem.

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

DTS audio track is already passed through HDMI if the target device support DTS decoding.

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
Hello,
I'm using the mx player pro on a Sony Xperia 1.
Mkv files with DCA audio codec work fine. Mkv files with trueHD don't play. VLC player is able to play the mkv files with trueHD audio codec on this device.
I use mx player because of the ability to change subtitle position. VLC doesn't have this feature.
Can there anything be done to make mkv files with trueHD audio codec play on MX Player?
Thank you for helping.
Hi, I've been using Chromecast with Google TV on Yamaha RX-V685 receiver
When using the MXplayer, my AV doesn't get DD or DD+ just only 2.0ch PCM.
I've tried installing codec from XDA and used HW decoding but I can't get the surrounding system.
Then I experemented on the VLCplayer, this got the passthrough right.
Does anybody have the same problem? or did I set something wrong?
No support for native 5.1 channel audio even after enabling Passthrough, for AV syste
I am facing the same issue, Using MX player in firestick connected to Yamaha AV receiver, Firestick supports up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.
I also tried with Codec package but no help. Mx player neither decoding 6 channel audio nor allowing passthrough. it converts all audio to 2 channels.
Tested .MP4 & .MKV files. Whereas few other players are able to decode all 6 channels from .MP4 &.AVI files but not .MKV.
