Hi all,
I am new to this forum so I apologize if this has been asked before but my search in this forum seems to indicate my situation is different and I am wondering if anyone here can assist.
I have a Pioneer VSX826 which is obviously not eARC enabled but ARC enabled. I have a PS5 and XBox One X sitting next to each other. I recently got a new TV Q800T Samsung (2020). For reference PS5 is hooked to HDMI 2.1 Port 4 while XBox One X is hooked to HDMI 2. AV receiver is hooked to Port 3 which is marked eARC on my TV. My Port 4 cable is HDMI 2.1 (Monster). All others are using HDMI 2.0 cables.
My 5.1 Dolby/DTS Test subject for a game is FF7 Remake - This works perfectly. Surround sound works.
My test subject for a movie is the new 4K UHD Weathering With You (Chapter 15 for the storm sound). This BD disc has a DTS True Master marking on it.
I have set my Q800T to do just Passthrough (No automatic) in the audio setting. I have also set the Output Device to TV. The priority format is set to Bitstream (DTS). When I do this, my AV suddenly shows the Dolby/DTS icon.
This is where the problem starts.
For some reason, when playing the BD, the dolby/dts icon disappeared and my AV briefly shows PCM. Looks like my PS5 switched my BD to PCM on play but back on Dolby/DTS on PS5 Homepage. As the result, even though the BD can play 5.1, it plays only in what I suspect is 2.0 PCM. I also did not forget to change the setting while playing the BD so the audio is "Bitstream"
I played this BD in my Xbox One X with the appropriate setting (Passthrough, Dolby, etc) and Weathering with You Played in majestic 5.1 Surround Sound.
So the problem is with PS5.
I did the same with The Greatest Showman BD. With PS5, it didn't even play any sound until I set the setting while playing the movie back to PCM. With XBox, it played the movie in the glorious 5.1 without an issue.
What I found difference when reading this forum is no one is mentioning any cross hardware comparison. In my case, I compared it with my Xbox One X.
I tried everything and I am running out of ideas. I must admit, this is a steep learning curve for me but if there is anyone here that can shed some idea, it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
