Nvidia Shield Sends Dolby Atmos To Front Speakers
1.7
An Nvidia Shield Pro connected to a Denon AVR-X1800H is producing Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos (EAC3) audio only from the front speakers, while Dolby 5.1 and DTS/DTS-HD play correctly. The user reports Shield Dolby processing off, Kodi 21.2 passthrough enabled, and Denon recognizing "Dolby Atmos – DD+"; toggling transcoding and passthrough did not resolve the issue. This suggests an interoperability or decoding problem.
Key Points
- 1Reports: Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos outputs only from front speakers on Denon AVR-X1800H.
- 2Indicates possible passthrough/decoding mismatch despite Shield processing off and Kodi passthrough enabled.
- 3Implies troubleshooting should focus on E-AC3 handling, receiver firmware, HDMI/ARC settings, and codec negotiation.
Scoring Rationale
Low novelty and narrow scope reduce impact, though issue is actionable for affected Shield/Denon users.
