Distorte sound with WL863 - but strangely only some files
Hello!
I am having an issue with streaming some video files to my 55WL863. Most work fine with the REGZA profile but some show distorted sound, it sounds as if someone has a bad cold and the overall sound is much thinner and lacks clarity (lots of hissing etc.). The weird thing is that this only happens with a few files and only when streaming via the serviio, other DLNA servers work fine.
And here is the really strange thing - I have a bunch of files which all were encoded at the same time with exactly the same settings, 2/3 work fine, 1/3 have the audio issues.
Example - file 1 (from the same series) has the audio issue. Audio track as following:
Audio Stream #1
Codec.............................................MPEG Audio
Codec (FourCC)....................................55
Codec Profile.....................................Joint stereo
Audio Stream Length...............................21mn 55s 848ms
Audio Stream BitRate..............................160 Kbps
Audio Stream BitRate Mode.........................VBR
Number of Audio Channels..........................2
Sampling Rate.....................................48.0 KHz
Audio Stream Size.................................25.5 MiB (15%)
Audio Encoder.....................................LAME3.90.
Audio Encoder (Settings)..........................-m j -V 4 -q 2 -lowpass 18 --abr 160
File 2 of the same series has perfect audio. Audio track info for this file:
Audio Stream #1
Codec.............................................MPEG Audio
Codec (FourCC)....................................55
Codec Profile.....................................Joint stereo
Audio Stream Length...............................21mn 30s 864ms
Audio Stream BitRate..............................160 Kbps
Audio Stream BitRate Mode.........................VBR
Number of Audio Channels..........................2
Sampling Rate.....................................48.0 KHz
Audio Stream Size.................................25.0 MiB (14%)
Audio Encoder.....................................LAME3.90.
Audio Encoder (Settings)..........................-m j -V 4 -q 2 -lowpass 18 --abr 160
As you can see, the audio track settings are exactly the same, both should show the same result, which unfortunately is not the case. Playing the troubled file directly on my Mac or streaming it to the Toshiba tv with PS3 Media Server (via MEncoder) and there are no audio issue at all, so it must have something to do with the Serviio profile or the re-encoder but as both are encoded in exactly the same way, I am really struggling to see what the issue is - any ideas?
Thanks!
