master quality audio on chromecast with google tv

[asdghjzxc]

I had been able to play master quality audio (MQA) tracks within the Tidal app until recently. When I reached out to Tidal for support, they replied that Chromecast with Google TV no longer supports MQA. Is that accurate? If so, why are features for Chromecast with Google TV being removed?

Same problem with Tidal in android TV box. In case of HiFi quality songs, it works fine. in case of Master Quality songs it says the message "Your device is not able to play this item". In case of Dolby Atmos songs, it looks like it starts playing but no sound comes out.

For Dolby Atmos, do you have passthrough turned on? On my devices , I have to have audio passthrough on

Yes I have enabled pass through in the android tv device and in my Marantz AVR that is connected to. It is strange that no sound comes out but also no error message appears for Dolby Atmos.

I will try to open a ticket in Tidal to see what their response will be.

Is it even worth me saying same problem here? 😂

I got a reply from the Tidal support that this is a known issue and that they are working on it.
I think that more tickets to their support about this issue perhaps will escalate it and get it solved sooner.
