Sorry, I may have confused you. The Shield isn't a profile, it's an external player that is plugged into my AVR, which sends the video to the TV. I haven't used the built-in Samsung media player for years because it's so poor.
I'm looking at the M profile, and all it does is force an M series TV to use the J profile. Looking at the J profile, I see no transcoding lines that match any audio codec except for LPCM in an MP4 container. So if you have Dolby Digital Plus, or DTS or one of the other audio codecs your TV doesn't support, you won't get any audio, because none of those are being sent out the optical port. So we need to know what codecs are within your media files to determine what is happening.
I don't know if your TV supports 4K, but you might try the two Roku TV profiles to see if that gives you audio. Use the Roku 4K TV if you TV supports it, otherwise try the other Roku TV profile.
