Audio via toslink

Hi, audio does not play via digital/toslink to a DAC to a wireless headset. Volume is coming thru TV speakers.
Any idea?

What format is the audio going into the TV. You probably need to transcode to LPCM 2.0 or something, maybe DD. I don't know if the TV passes the input audio to the output or not.

it sounds like more of a TV \ audio system setup issue rather than a serviio problem. have you tried changing the audio encoding format to see if it affects the issue?

I had used PS3 sever software without a problem for a year or so. I then got a Sony in another room, used the PS3 software and I think it changed some settings in PS3 server software, so that the next time I tried with the Panasonic no sound.

What I'm saying is the Panasonic TV settings have not changed. I searched and found Serviio and thought I'd give it a shot.
The format is MP4.

I will look again and try a different video and see if that works.

Any more suggestions, troubleshooting please post.

MP4 is not an audio format, it's a container. You need to find out what audio codec is being used. You can use various progs to do this, VLC will tell you what codecs are in the current video.

If it's AAC I wouldn't expect the Panny to pass it over S/P-DIF as I don't think anything supports it. It's likely ps3mediaserver was transcoding to MP3 or something else and your TV was decoding and able to pass on.

It's definitely the TV as there are certain formats it will playback but not pass on.
