(Android TV) Audio only PCM when refresh rate switching is on - lkjh - 2024-04-21
This is for android tv 11 on Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019.
As the title states, when refresh switching is on (whether that's scale to tv or device) it causes anything to be played to be output as PCM. When refresh rate switching is off, everything plays as normal with it's intended audio codec (bitstream in my case).
I think what's happening is that when refresh switching is on, it causes a bit of a pause to do the switch (which is typical of refresh/resolution switching) and in that moment it didn't have time to properly send the bitstream passthru audio which leads to the device just decoding the audio and sending it as PCM.
I also got curious whether this is my device's fault or Jellyfin client so I went and got Plex to see if it's resolution/refresh switching causes the same issue and it does not.
Is there a way to fix this? Not sure if it's just happening to me or if others are affected.

I'm leaning towards this being a Jellyfin bug. Submit a github issue here.

I just made an account here to say I can confirm. I can either have pristine audio (bitstream) OR I can have pure correct fps...
I cannot have both.
This app perplexes me to no end...
