No audio on fire stick on my DVD rip mkv - pollik - 2024-10-29
I've ripped a DVD for the first time, I've used makeMKV and made some .mkv files.
They play fine on my laptop in both VLC player and Jellyfin, but using Jellyfin on my amazon fire stick on the TV it only plays the video - no audio comes out. Weirdly this then also stops audio working for everything on the fire stick until it is reset.
Everything else plays fine on Jellyfin on the amazon fire stick.
Anyone got any ideas as to what I've done wrong here?
Jellyfin tells me the .mkv has the following properties:

Post your server and any FFmpeg logs via Pastebin. Without reviewing them, I suspect there may be an issue due to mono audio. Try going to the ATV client, then navigate to Playback -> Audio -> Audio Output, and change the setting to "Downmix to Stereo."

You are correct, that has fixed it!
Thanks so much!
I don't have any surround sound, but I presume this would mean it wouldn't work?
