I have an HDFury AVR Key running the latest firmware, setup between my Nvidia Shield TV (2017) and my Pioneer VSX-1326 and LG E6 4K TV.
The problem is that the receiver doesn't get any Dolby signals from the AVR Key. DTS signals work fine, including DTS-HD MA, but none of Dolby formats work at all.
If I pass the audio back from the TV via optical cable, Dolby works, but is limited to Dolby Digital (as per the optical spec). So I know the Dolby signal is being sent from the Nvidia properly, and I also know that the receiver is capable of processing Dolby signals. Also, if I connect my computer to the VSX-1326 directly via HDMI, it processes all formats of Dolby properly. Same for using a Blu-Ray player. The receiver is perfectly capable of decoding Dolby formats.
I also have two other similar setups running AVR Keys between Nvidia Shield TV Pro (2019) with either a Pioneer SC-99 or Pioneer SC-25, both using LG E6 4K TVs. These setups all work fine, and in fact the Nvidia Shield TV (2017) also works fine with these setups.
So the only conclusion I can reach is that the particular AVR Key attached to the VSX-1326 is either not sending Dolby correctly, such that it cannot be processed by the receiver, or it is not sending Dolby signals at all. Updating the firmware made no difference for this issue.
So how do I fix this?
