This is a follow up of my previous post which is now locked so I can't add more comments, I really wonder why you have to lock our posts if sometimes we need to add more information.

Anyway, I wanted to update the current audio playback status of some PCM, Dolby and DTS codecs, where only one issue was addressed while the rest are still the same.

In the below table you can see the current situation and it's based on tests made with Plex, but the situation is the same with other apps:

Observations:

- As you can see in the table, the ones in red are still presenting problems regardless of the app in use.

- The current firmware build of the Google TV Streamer is UTTK.250729.004 with security patch august 1st 2025.

- Since this issue is related directly to the firmware in the device, then:

Rebooting the device doesn't fix the issue.
Resetting the device to factory settings doesn't fix the issue.
Deleting cache and data on apps doesn't fix the issue.
Using different high speed HDMI or ultra HDMI cables doesn't fix the issue.
Using different AV receivers or soundbars doesn't fix the issue.

It's important to clarify that I can't send this feedback from the device because there is no way to attach the above table, therefore, I strongly urge you to report this problem directly to Google engineers.

Please let me know if you need any further information.
