[Q]Mhl and surround sound.

Idk if its possible but i want to output 5.1 or even 7.1 surround sound from the mhl adapter on the sensation. I tried a mkv with 5.1 sound and dice player but the phone outputs stereo sound. According to mhl standards it should support 7.1 audio. So i was wondering if anybody has successively output surround sound from their sensations.
nothing? I understand that the phone normally cant output more than stereo so is this problem with android or is it hardware or nether?

Android Tablet output video via HDMI and audio via analogue at the same time?

Thing is I have an old TV with a DVI connection - I have put an HDMI Convertor on it and it woks fine with my laptop - so with a laptop I output the video via the HDMI cable to the television and stick an audio cable in the headphone socket and get the sound through my hifi.
Someone tried it for me just using a HDMI to HDMI and no sound came from the headphone jack however I wondered if because mine was not "true" HDMI it might work?
Will an android tablet do this?

Can Android output 5.1 surround sound to a receiver? How?

I have a phone with Snapdragon 810, which brags "supports DSP" and other high quality audio options (supposedly), the LeTV x900 if its necessary to know (which gsminsider reports has LeTV’s ESS exclusive custom DAC and DCDC + LDO two power supply design, if it matters). So the question is:
Is it possible to output true 5.1 or 7.1 sound (DTS, DTS-HD, Atmos, etc) from the phone to a real receiver (Yamaha for example)? I've tried several different version of MHL usb to hdmi cables and they were all only recognized as a stereo source. I'm pretty sure I can't use the 3.5mm jack because it would also only use 2 channels, and bluetooth wold compress the audio. Is there any true options for someone who wants to listen to 3d sound sources (like a bluray mkv put on the phone) on a real home theater receiver? Any feedback would be appreciated.

[Q] DTS and AC3 sound problem on TV speaker

Hi,
I have sound problem when I use Alpha MX _Player on my Tronsmart RK3288 (Kit Kat android) to play AC3 movies.
My receiver can play correctly the Dolby sound but there is white noise on the TV speakers then I have to mute the TV sound.
It's a little bit annoying if I forget to mute the TV.
Do you have any hint to help me to turn off automatically this white noise on the TV ?
Thanks in advance for your help

I am not sure what happens exactly.
Have you connected your audio receiver on S/PDIF...?
Does it happens with other video files which doesn't have ac3 or DTS...?
What I suspect is your device pass the audio stream to both S/PDIF & HDMI (TV). Your receiver can decode it since it has proper ac3 decoders. But, Your TV might not have ac3 decoder & produces unnecessary noise when failed to decode the stream.
Does your TV Player have native video player..?
Probably when you play the same video there you will encounter the same issue.

Sorry to forgot to describe my setup:
First Setup:
Tronsmart Box (KitKat) -> TV via HDMI
Tronsmart Box -> Yamaha receiver via SPDIF
Android Sound Manager: set to SPDIF
Second setup:
Tronsmart Box (KitKat)-> TV via HDMI
TV -> Yamaha receiver via SPDIF (My TV has SPDIF output)
Android Sound Manager: set to HDMI Bitstream
Both of the above setup have problem of the TV Speaker when playing DTS/AC3 movies.
TV does not have sound problem if playing non DTS/AC3 movies.
I will try the Tronsmart native player tonight and will let you know.
PS: I don't have TV sound problem with the same setup for other box with Lollipop but have subtitle delayed problem
Thanks again

When you set audio out to SPDIF audio not suppose to be passed. Am I right..?
Do you get audio on TV when you play a video with other audio codecs..? In the above setup there shouldn't be any audio.
In simple words, I wonder why TV is making noise when audio is not passed to it.
Regarding subtitle delay issue with another device, does it happens with HW+ or SW...?.
Anyway MX has default subtitle sync options for all decoder ( & HW decoder separately if you only has issues with HW). You set it once & enjoy rather than adjusting everytime.

audio passthrough

Hello, anyone knows if is there a way to transport an AC3 or DTS flux directly to the amplifier through hdmi with official samsung adapter or samsung dex
I've tried with both of them but audio is always stereo.
I tried also setting kodi in passthrough and in this case i have no audio at all.
Thank you and bye
