Can't play Dolby TrueHD + Atmos - Drake97 - 2024-12-17
Hello,
First I want to advise that I searched the forum but I didn't find direct information or maybe I didn't search well.
My drawback is that when I try to play content with TrueHD + Dolby Atmos audio, on my soundbar it appears as Stereo PCM.
When I use any other audio format (DD, DD+, DAtmos, DTS, etc) it shows it without problems, it is only with TrueHD + Dolby Atmos the "problem".
My setup is a 65" LG C4, a Samsung Q600b Soundbar and a Chromecast GTV 4K.
I don't know if it's because the content is in 7.1 and my bar is only 3.1.2 but it shouldn't come out as stereo, maybe it should come out something else.
Do you know why this detail ? If you need more info I can give it.
As a fact, when I bring my ear close to the bar, I can hear the different channels (voices in the center and sounds on the sides), but I still have some doubts.
PS: I attach a video link where I press the info button on the Soundbar and show which audio track is set (TrueHD).

Google devices do not support passthrough of lossless audio formats like Dolby TrueHD. They only support Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos, which is a lossy audio format.

Thank you very much for your answer, I was reading and of course, in this case "it is the fault" of the Chromecast because it does not allow that audio and when researching, the devices of that article are not sold in my country and buying them on Amazon or similar is very expensive, so we will have to resign ourselves haha.
Greetings.
