Hi I have Sony KDL55W805A and I am using the profile created thanks goes to ILLICO and it is working great thank you so much. I kneed some advice the Tv downmixes DTS to stereo and I have a 5.1 system pluged to the tv via optical cable, so I am using popcorn mkv audioconverter to add ac3 audio beside the DTS, Do you think it is best to tweek the profile to transcode the dts to ac3 ?

Could you provide information about your video file (see signature link)?
Does DTS track is transcoded or delivered in native format ?

Could you enable "Delivery" -> "TRanscoding" -> "Keep Original", then save and restart serviio service or reboot PC.

I confirm that this mkv/h264/dts file should be delivered in native format (you can check it on detailed logging file).

If you select "Sony 2012" or other sony profile, dts should be transcoded to ac3 (multichannel)(keep original audio format should be checked on serviio console).

So this is the TV that downstream the audio to stereo on output optical.

Do you check all sony menu settings ?

Do you try to set "Audio System" on menu
