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

My 4900xrs works perfectly with playing Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus 5.1…

The same was said for the x5 but it doesn’t work for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 movies 

just don’t want to spend more money then come to find out that it doesn’t work 

thank you 

hi,

before I purchase this stb, does anyone know if this  stb can play Dolby Atmos movies?

Sorry...

Anyone noticed within the filebrowser that the option to cut, copy, paste is missing . 

This screenshot is with my 4900

Thank you 

Hi,

Has anyone been able to enable digital audio output(passthrough) with VLC when trying to play a DD 5.1 movie?

When I enable digital audio output (passthrough) in VLC, I get no sound but if I don't enable it, I get sound...

Thank you 

It works with my 4900

I'm sorry I'm new and don't really know how this forum works

So sorry for repeating 

Must have clicked wrong button

Still learning

Yes, just trying to get some help 

Did I post something illegal?
