Trouble with changing sound dolby 5.1 and stereo 2.0 on ATV4
Posted: 12 Feb 2017, 17:35
Hello!
I've been using MrMC on my Apple TV 4th generation since almost half a year. After a lot of work on the settings it works fine, especially in order to watch and record live TV with TV Headend, located as backend on my Synology NAS.
Since about 5 weeks ago I've got more and more problems with German TV channels which changes their sound options during the daily program. This occures very often on "ARD HD", for example during the "sportschau" or other movies. When a movie starts with Dolby 5.1 or ends with Dolby 5.1 and changes to Stereo 2.0 or reverse, there is no sound for approximately 7 to 9 seconds. After the "sound break" there occures the small window on the top of the screen which normally occures when rewind forward or backwards to see the movie time. After that, the sound starts again as like nothing happend before. When there are a lot of commercials (Stereo Sound) during the movie (Dolby Sound) that nerves a lot.
I'm not sure if the problems occures since some updates on tvOS or MrMC, unfortunately. I've tried a lot of setting changes on ATV and MrMC - without any success.
The systems works from the ATV4 to a Denon AV Receiver in the newest line with full Dolby and DTS options. When I connect the ATV4 directly to the TV screen from LG instead, there is no other outcome so it must be a problem of software on the ATV4. I read a lot of forums on the internet but haven't found any usefull support right now. I'm very distraught about this because the system has worked so fine and my girl friend was happy about this;-)
Please, has got anyone an idea what I could do or what the problem could cause?
Thanks, Michael
