Can we please please have Audio Passthrough for Google TV streamer

Shambolic21 — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 01:07:27 GMT

Just purchased the Google TV streamer and all works great and am pretty happy with everything except for one thing....... audio passthrough.

Obviously I have an AV receiver and getting lossless audio is very important to me and unfortunately Google Streamer does not support that. PLEASE PLEASE put it in a software update.

Its so frustrating that I am even have thoughts of replacing it with a NVIDIA Shield TV.

PLEASE add audio passthrough. I can see there are quite a few posts on this so Google, please hear your community and add it in.
