Oreo - Play with no sound #42

Closed ericlaflamme closed 2 years ago

ericlaflamme commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I just upgraded my tv to Oreo. My tv is a XBR-49X700D. The version of the software is PKG6.5805.0201NAA. Advertising Android TV 8.0.0.

My audio is over optical cable. The TV volume is at 0 because it's manage by external audio equipment.

Issue: When a video is playing, there is no sound.

Workaround: Press volume button + one time and the audio is starting to work. or Let the TV at volume 1.

Finding: When the TV volume is at 0, the behavior happen. When the TV volume is at 1 or more, both audio is working. Turn the TV volume back to 0 and can get the bug appear.

Not a big deal, just worth to be known.

This seems to me to be a specific bug from Android Sony implantation since you solve it through TV volume management. Do you have the same behavior with mxplayer or vlc? Also would be interesting if behavior is consistent enabling or disabling audio passthrough in nova settings. Thanks for sharing.

I tested inside Nova and the problem is happening whatever player I tested (nova, mxplayer, kodi) Open VLC app and the audio behave normally. Youtube, Netflix behave normally.

Can't test VLC inside Nova since weird bug: (trying to load the movie from localhost and doesn't find it) My files are on SMB share.

Audio passthrough doesn't make it work, just the same problem.

I agree with you that seems to be core problem, I just find it weird that it only happen in Nova.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the testing and feedback, seems thus a nova specific behavior.
