[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Zbrat:
Alright, so after many hours spent in trying this and that connection, I finally decided to take the risk and factory reset my Shield. Surprisingly, after reinstalling everything once more... Bam! I was still able to get DD! :victory: Something must be doing the trick I thought... Guess what? My HDMI Switch! Oh dear, I did not think about it before because I didn't expect this to be transforming the signal to Dolby Digital at all.

Here is my model of switch, and I can say it works really good, but even solving the Sonos issue? Wow!!

http://www.vorke.com/project/vorke-hd41-pro/ (do not want to promote it, but in Amazon price drops sometimes to ~20EUR)

So guys, if somebody runs into a problem like mine, this is a solution to it.

To summarize, my connection: Shield > HDMI switcher > TV > SONOS Beam via ARC (all hdmi connections). Optical TV out also offering DD ;)

Sorry if I produced confusion in the forum but I am happy to say that I can contribute to a tested solution. Questions are more than welcome.
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] clems159:
Do you mean that this article (vorke hd41 pro) is transcoding e-ac3 to ac3? i dont see how it is doing so as it is not explained in the documentation of this hardware.

You did not have this switch when you where running with nvidia shield on android oreo?

perhaps it's your TV that is converting DD+ to DD no ?
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Laney88:
Tvs don't usually decode from external devices (shield) to external speakers (sonos) unless they are really special i would presume but then i also agree that there is nothing in the switch that should do the conversion as well... very odd
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Koying:
Maybe not explicit, but if it says it supports 7.1 / truehd / ... as inputs AND optical output, it has to transcode...
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] clems159:
Well, i know some sony tvs that are doing dolby digital + transcoding to dolby digital in audio option. (tested it with a friend bravia brand new tv some time ago):

eg:

search 'Dolby Digital Plus sound does not output from the device connected with the optical digital cable.' on google
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Laney88:
[MENTION=10074701]Zbrat[/MENTION] would u share the model of your tv with us, i also thin its the tv as [MENTION=10099267]clems159[/MENTION] said some tvs do this and your tv is probably one of them..
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] clems159:
For now, using neflix with kodi plugin to get it in DD 5.1 (transcoding feature from kodi is working great)

My nvidia shield tv got the latest android 9 (pie) update some time ago in august

This hack is not working with android 9 pie anymore you confirm that [MENTION=397727]Koying[/MENTION] ?
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Zbrat:
Yes sure, my TV is an LG 55UF680V.

And to add more funky results on Netflix/Amazon: While the Shield is on, if I plug the HDMI directly to the TV then I am still getting DD. But if I restart the Shield, it goes back to PCM Stereo.

If I plug it back through the switch, then I'm stuck to PCM. But once I restart, I can go back to DD.

So again, and being tested this, it seems the TV is not the one transcoding to DD.

EDIT: Alright, definitive conclusion: Switching between 5.1/ 7.1 /2.0 on the Vorke is affecting the output. That explains why I was not getting DD on the previous Android 7.2, simply because I did not switch to 5.1 :mad:
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] clems159:
I found somes doc about your TV. Its doing transcode from dd+ to dd.

I think your Switch only activated the edid setting to the NVIDIA Shield
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Laney88:
This shiz is getting very interesting more interesting than sherlock holmes, i even feel i will have nightmares about getting or failing to get dolby....i shivered when i wroe that

But seriously please keep investigating detectives, we need to know whats happened!
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] massdass:
Hi!

I have a Nviia Shield, TV samsung (7 series about 8 years old) and HT Marantz SR7500 (without HDMI but only SPDIF)

In your opinion there are any chance to tanscoding DD+ in DD and sent to SPDIF by VORKE?

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] milenko79:
Is it just me, or is the 8.0 Dev image gone from the Nvidia site? Hopefully there will be a new version with working root soon
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] clems159:
[MENTION=10074701]Zbrat[/MENTION], can you plug you sonos directly to the SPDIF output of the vorke (bypassing the TV for the sound part)

so we will definitively know if vorke is transcoding DD+ to DD

FYI, i got an audio extactor :HDMI Switch Audio Extractor Avec Télécommande 4K*2K 60hz/IR/UHD/Arc/Audio EDID/SPDIF

which seems the same as the vorke you got, but it's not transcoding audio, only splitting audio from video (tested with all stereo/5.1 edid settings)
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Laney88:

ok this is getting so confusing...after latest update my Shield 2017 can show 5.1 audio option to TV unit in my office with 2.1 Sony soundbar but when i move it to my living room with Sony TV and Sonos beam that option goes away. Is this how its supposed to work or am i missing something obvious?

https://www.dolby.com/us/en/about/post-processing-policy.html

Is this gonna help Shield owners with a Sonos to upmix Dolby formats to 5.1 (instead of stereo)?
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] havsingh:
Hi all, so can we just clear this up, on the latest (8) update on Nvidia Shield, this workaround to get DD+ down to DD5.1 as posted by OP is or is not working?
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] milenko79:
No, root was not working on the new 8.0 Dev image, so there was no option to install the patch. The 8.0 Dev image is now no longer on the Nvidia site. So we're all waiting patiently for Nvidia.
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] havsingh:
Ah, thank you! Eagerly following this post!
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Kill3rmonk:
I rooted my Shield using this method, https://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/development/kernel-overclock-kernel-2-22-ghz-t3943079 and copied over the audio files. Unless I did something wrong they don't seem to work on Pie. Mine is currently getting stuck on the Google loading screen.

Update: Looks like Nvidia finally released the 8.0 developer images. Trying again on that thinking the other root method have some weird issue when moving the files. Will update shortly.

Tried it again with the Nvidia dev images, got hung up on the android loading screen and seemed to finish loading when I pushed up the backed up libaudioflinger.so file back to the shield so the hang up may be related to that file?
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] milenko79:
Yes, new Dev images are up. I hope you can get it working for us koying.
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] jarayn:
Finally. They really were slow eh. Hopefully it can still be done.
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Koying:
Patch uploaded for 8.0.0.

Patching "libaudiopolicymanagerdefault.so" is no longer needed.

Go to "Device Preferences - Display & Sound - Advanced sound settings - Available formats", select "Manual" and enable "AC3" and "E-AC3" (+ DTS if your TV supports it).
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] clems159:
You rocks ! testing it asap
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Nice job, I will try this soon.

Did you ever thought about an Magisk module?
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Zbrat:
Do we need to root the Shield again if we updated from the previously 7.2.3 rooted one?

Will the DTS work as well with the Sonos in this new version, [MENTION=397727]Koying[/MENTION]?

(FYI: In my case, I know I know it's hard to believe, but as some of you guys know, it was working with the hdmi switch... However, from time to time, I had to go to manual selection and disable/enable EAC3 or AC3 to reactivate the Dolby output)
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Koying:
Yes, you need to root again.

Re DTS, only enable it if your Sonos supports it. If not, leave it off and rely on the Plex or Kodi transcoding.

I will check again the DTS version of the patch some time, but it's not really necessary anymore since 8.0.0 allows you to cherry-pick the audio formats...
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Koying:
Not using Magisk, as NV provides "official" rooted images.

I suspect someone using it might help here :)
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] milenko79:
Working great for me, thanks koying
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] jarayn:
Mine didn't work.

I had to disable dm Verity to enable write access. Am I supposed to reenable it after I push the files?
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] kingcrash:
Thx Koying! Is it possible for someone to record the proces in a short clip? Would make it a bit easier for me to upgrade.
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] vbhagaur:
SO just for clarity, i have to flash the developer image again so that its rooted...and then replace the files for it to work. Can anyone please confirm?
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
I know what you mean and I understand your way of using root. But on the other side I see the complicate way to install your libs. If we can have a magisk module or app or whatever we had a single-point of control. This is nice for updates and makes the install a lot easier.

This is just my thought and the background of this question.

Please dont understand me wrong, I love your libs! It solved my 3 or 4 years old workarround with 3 devices.

Greetings by Idijt
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] jarayn:
Confirmed
[Shield Android TV Original Android Development] Koying:
I totally understand your point-of-view as well.

Just that I don't feel like spending time on Magisk, so we can just hope somebody will jump in and package the mod.

HI all, I have installed into my car Android SWM 8802 car stereo 2 DIN.

I have some question for you.

1) How can I shoudown the stereo ? If I try to click for more of 2 second on roller button, the display turn off but the stereo is always on. In fact if I try to search the bluetooth device, I can see the stereo bluetooth. This is very annoying because if I turn off my car and the stereo, then I close my car but I receive a call the stereo automatic Turn ON (because I have bluetotth associated from smartphone and stereo). Then until I return back at my car this stereo is always ON.

2) In which mode I can read the NAME of the station on FM Radio ? It is impossible that a new stereo don't have this function. How can I activate IT?

3) I have try to install an APP from PlayStore, then I want to remove it. If I try to unistall it, after a few of second the stereo rebot but the app is always installed :confused:

been running XP on a PC for 3+ years now without a reinstall or registry cleaner, no problems - have just bought new PC, but before that I used that PC every day for long hours.

Hey everyone,

i usually don't post questions but i've been on pretty much every forum the web has to offer and am still stuck so i'll try my luck here.

i'm currently running lineage 7.1 on my mi4c, i've used another phone for a while but now that my mi4c has a new battery i wanted to start using it again, is also decided this would be the time to update it to android oreo or pie, this however seems to be impossible.

i can only use twrp up to 3.1.1.1, all higher (and unofficial versions) will not boot via fastboot 'dtb not found' or when flashed via older twrp will freeze on boot screen.

whenever i try to install a new rom it tells me 'error code 7', when i remove the 'assert' lines in the update it gives me 'error code 6'

my device is unlocked, i have checked this in fastboot.

do i have to install miui again before installing another rom? do i have to go back to the standard recovery? i'm currently running out of ideas and hope you guys might be able to help me. maybe i'm overlooking something simple.

kind regards,

Monstreys
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] makaveli97:
Hi! I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but I was about to start a similar thread.

I try to do exactly what you are doing. I want to install LineageOS 16, unofficial ROM.

For this you need a newer TWRP, like 3.2.3.0, but it doesn't work 'dtb not found' like you said. I found out that this doesn't work because you need to have nougat bootloader. Most probably you have lollipop bootloader like I have, and thats why newer versions of TWRP are not working. I think the only way to update your bootloader to a nougat one is to flash the latest MIUI ROM. But, unfortunately, when you do that the bootloader gets locked, and I can't unlock it via MiUnlock due to Error:20091 when I try to link the phone to the Mi account. In MiUnlock it gives me the "this account cannot unlock the phone" or something like that.

Now I removed the "assert" lines from my rom and flashed it without the error 7 or 6. Some error still apears, but it also apears when I flash LineageOS 14.1, and that version is working even with those 2 errors I can't remember during flash.

After I flashed LineageOS, I flashed gapps and then superSU, and now my mi4c is stuck on mi logo for about 20 minutes, and I think it will remain that way.

So, there are 2 things we need to solve. We need to find a way to install latest MIUI without relocking the bootloader because I can't unlock it via MiUnlock, or to find out why after I flashed LineageOS 16 it gets stuck on MI logo.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] makaveli97:
