Hi, My X5 is connected via HDMI to my Sonos system...do I need to disable the s/pdif output in order to play on my Sonos surround sound? Will try tomorrow since they came out with a firmware update on April 3rd and one of the changes says fixed audio passthrough... Thank you

Did you ever find out how to enable surround 5.1?

Thank you so I won't be purchasing it then

Is it possible to remove a post? I tried but couldn't figure it out

I thought my uploaded image wasn't showing Sorry

Hi, Does anyone have a screenshot of the U5 Is it like the audio output of the 4900 Here is a screenshot of the 4900 audio output Thank you

Oh well, I guess it’s my x5 i plugged everything with hdmi and removed the s/pdif adapter and still not playing DD 5.1…. without changing anything and as soon as I plug my 4900 DD 5.1 works case closed I’ll keep my 4900 plugged and throw away my X5 thank you all

Probably the x5 is coded differently than the 4900 works with 4900 and not x5 my Sonos arc is using hdmi cable but at the end it has an digital Optical adapter which plugs in my tv’s s/pdif port…because my two tv’s hdmi port are already used I will unplug that optical adapter this weekend and unplug the used hdmi port and plug it in that hdmi port to test it out if that was the culprit thank you all

I know all that I’m just saying what is the sound output from the x5 and is selected by default and no other sound output choice that’s what I find weird

My setup is Sonos arc, subwoofer and play 1’s for surround I download or play the movies from kodi which pass through is allowed in kodi everything works with my buzztv 4900xrs which is setup the same as my x5 which only outputs pcm and not Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby atmos or Dolby Digital Plus… here is a screenshot of the audio output from my 4900 which works perfect but the audio output from my x5 is S/PDIF, which I don’t know if everyone’s x5 shows that or it’s what it’s supposed to show thank you

allaboutbuzz, I didn’t read about it I have the x5 too and it doesn’t seem to work like my 4900

PapaS, I wish I’d know if it’s a setting that I’m missing

With Vic which is enabled same as on my 4900 which which plays those files without any issues just wanted to upgrade to the x5 or u5
