I use my Samsung TV app to stream netflix and my Receiver is NOT showing the sound to be in TruHD. Do I need a different cable to get TruHD audio?

if you have a digital cable already, you should check the 'audio set-up' settings on your receiver & tv, using your manuals to make sure you choose the audio settings you want (which i assume are dts,dolby digital multi channel etc.). if your cable is running directly from your tv to your receiver it might not be able to decode dts/dolby digital. a lot of tv's do not have a built in decoder. hope this helps.

I had the same problem with Samsung apps only playing audio using the tv speakers and not when I connected to my Bose soundmate via optical. I would say it's Samsung not playing well with others.

Both video and sound are supplied through the HDMI cable, this would be the same as if you connected a XBOX360, DVD player etc, to a TV via the HDMI cable. I watch Netflix, Crackle and stream Pandora from this sweet unit, all sound comes through the TV speakers, I'm thinking about hooking up to a sound bar, through my TV via the optical out from the TV for additional sound, Hope this helps :) I should also note that that is a misprint ( Jenny Bean ) it is in fact Jelly Bean 4.1.1

That's got nothing to do with the router. You need to ask Netflix. What device are you using to stream the Netflix? The device may not support it or Netlix simply doesn't do Dolby.

Well the ? I have is do you have a hdmi ready cable box ? If so you have the hdmi cable go from the cable box to the hdmi "out" on the receiver and then you will need another hdmi cable to come from the hdmi IN 3 (cab/sat) and plug that into the back of the tv. It is all done with hdmi cables. This is also the only way to get the set up menu to be viewed on your tv also. This is a great receiver so I hope it works out for you. I have had it for a week and it is so much better then my last 2 onkyo's !

If you were misfortunate enough to have bought thr BTT195, simply route the HDMI output of your Roku to the input of the BTT. However - if you have not yet bought the BTT - run like a banshee. This was the single worst audio product I have ever owner - sent back after a month of trying to live with it. Life is too short. Get a Pioneer.

Well, you do have analog left and right channels coming from Wii (I mean, the sound has got to come from somewhere, right?), which you could plug into any vacancy you might have. Or, if you have one, run a digital line OUT of your TV to the receiver. This would work for everything you had hooked up to your TV already when you add the Onkyo receiver. If everything was digital, this would work fine. In my case, I had analog running from the DVD; now have coaxial running to the receiver to get Dolby Digital (left the component video cables hooked to the TV rather than buy another set). Netflix and Wii just announced that you will be able to stream movies in over your Wii wireless connection! You will receive a disc to insert into your console, and then... The Onkyo receiver does a decent job of faking a surround sound. I guess the day is coming for a new Wii console with digital sound.

I have XMBC (frodo build) installed on my EB1503 (as I use the box as a media server) it has no problems with any of the HD audio associated with video codecs (DTS & Dolby TrueHD). I've never tried streaming from an online source (as I only have DSL). My audio/video goes over HDMI to my Onkyo TX-NR608. My experience would say that it is your decoding software having problems, not the EB1503 hardware.

In HDMI the audio comes across the same cable as the video. So, if you're seeing a picture then the only thing I can think of is that the volume is muted on the android device. Go into settings and make sure the sound settings are up to a reasonable volume.

I am guessing you have a smart/web connected TV and you want the sound to come from the receiver. Check if your TV has an audio output either digital/optical . Look at your TV settings . I am guessing the TV has multiple HDMI ports. How would the TV know where to send the output ?

joe, There are two most common options - you can use either a digital optical audio out (if your receiver supports that), or the 3.5mm analog output that will either go to a 3.5mm input, or can be used with a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, which will support most receivers that have an AUX or TV input. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Hi, If you connected via HDMI you supposed to get audio form the tv. If no audio on tv , You need to configure your audio out, If PC right click the speaker or volume icon on the right bottom of the screen then click playback device. If you see the Samsung tv click and make it your default audio out.BUt if you connected by VGA you need an 3.5mm jack(headphone Jack) on both end and connect it at the back of the tv and you're pc too.

Not sure if this will be any help since you left out any detail on your hardware, but I did have a problem when I hooked up a ROKU box because the ROKU "Settings"->"Audio Mode" default settings were "Surround". There was no soundtrack at this point, only something that sounded like static. So I changed the "Audio Mode" to "Stereo" which worked. From this result I am guessing that the Convertor box can also output digital sound, not just analog but I did not test this assumption as it did not matter for my application. Also the application (Netflix,etc) settings needed changing.

I do not know what kind of a jack (end of your earphone cord) end you have on the ear phone this would have to connect to an amp. so that you could receive the sound in a digital format or stereo sound from some kind of receiver. Your Samsung TV sends out the signal via a optical light signal so you have to convert this to a digital sound to hear it. I hope this helps! Mike

I bought this specifically to extract Netflix audio but it didn't work for me. Regardless of where I set the audio switch on the adapter I still have to set Netflix to a standard stereo signal to hear anything. I feed my digital signal into a Radio Shack AV switch, then into a Sony receiver.

Dean Hansen, There is an audio output for receivers that carries a fixed (rather than the headphone-friendly "variable") output only. If there's a headphone option, it would need to be on the receiver, audio bar or Home Theater system, since one isn't available on the TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I bought a refurbished Samsung Sound bar and have nothing but problems. I have even had the cable company out-and they cannot figure out why it does not work. Will play-but both DVD and cable it goes to black screen and says to check the signal. I am off to Sears to buy a new one.
