Hello,
My end goal is to use this with a plex media client connected to my TV and audio receiver via HDMI and get surround sound.
I have tested Android 5.1 which as far as I know is not capable of surround sound, I assumed that it would because my nexus player running the same software did support surround sound, I was wrong. I thought that perhaps the nexus was running Android TV OS, so that could be the issue. I have tested Android TV, that also does not produce surround sound, only stero sound via my receiver.
My question is, is there any software (remix, Linux) that can supports surround sound via HDMI? If so, is it possible to run plex from that OS?
Not sure why the nexus player is capable of playing surround sound but this is not, from what I understand it is more complicated than them sharing similair OS.
If anyone could point me in any direction it would be appreciated. I checked the forums in each OS but couldn't find anything to confirm this works.
