This update is based on SHIELD Experience Upgrade 9.0 and includes the following fixes: If the Nvidia marketing team happens to read this you would be well served by making all of the above explicit in your product marketing materials because elegantly handling conversion of surround sound formats is a significant USP for this device.Today we released SHIELD Experience Upgrade v9.0.1 (33.1.0.283) for all SHIELD and SHIELD Pro units. The new Shield TV remote is also able to control the volume on the Playbar via the IR blaster built in to the remote and the setup for that was also straight forward. Kodi - System > System > Audio > Audio Passthrough > Allow passthrough Kodi - System > System > Audio > Audio Decoder > Number of channels: 5.1 Plex - Username > Settings > Advanced > Passthrough: HDMI I'm using the default 'Auto' selection but if you select manual then you can toggle these options: Shield TV > Settings > Device Preferences > Display & Sounds > Advanced Sound Controls > Available formats:Īuto: Use the formats your audio device reports supporting (recommended) For me this just worked out of the box for the Netflix and Prime Video apps and with a few audio settings changes for Plex and Kodi. The new Shield TV Pro 2019 has new audio settings that the old model didn't and it is handling the conversion of pretty much any surround sound format into whatever audio formats the connected device can support, which for the Playbar is just AC3 (Dolby Digital). My hardware setup: Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 : HDMI Out -> HDMI In : Samsung TV UA65F9000AKXXS : Optical Audio Out -> Optical Audio in : Sonos Playbar

This is confirmed both by my ears but also via the Sonos mobile app > System > About My System > Playbar TV > 'Audio In: Dolby Digital 5.1' Last week I picked up the new Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 and I'm happy to report that the Sonos is now seeing DD 5.1 from all of the sources I mentioned above. From the number of posts on the Sonos and Nvidia user forums I'm clearly not alone.

I'm a long suffering Sonos Playbar owner who has wasted a lot of time and money trying to get 5.1 surround sound working from my Nvidia Shield TV 2015 edition.
