streaming audio

Hi all, I recently refurbed an old build to be a plex server/gaming rig/streaming box. I've got Plex and games working just fine but I can't seem to get most streaming apps to do what I want. I'm running Windows 10 with a TUF B550-Plus motherboard (no sound card) and the biggest problem I have...

I didn't know where else I can post this without context collapse. My question is, is it so difficult for manufacturers to design streaming devices that can passthrough uncompressed Audio like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA? Almost everyone supports HDR formats like Dolby Vision, which might have...

Hi I know that the question has been asked before but all the answers I could see leave me quite perplexed with more questions. So I'm asking it "again" with as many details as possible, wishing to have, maybe, a concrete answer that will clarify all for me. Before, here is my setup : 1...

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm trying to seamlessly incorporate streaming into my system. My setup right now consists of an Anthem 310, Ascend Acoustic Sierra 2's, a Rega P3 turntable, and a Harmony Elite controller. I've been using a basic mini audio jack to connect an iPad to the AVR...

Anyone out there have a system using Crestron (Pyng CPR3) and Autonomic music servers? I’ve had problems since the install almost a year ago. These are supposed to be standard bearers but neither will accept that there is a problem. The problem I have is that sound will just cut out after 5 or...

Anyone experiencing sound cutout using iHeart or Tunein radio apps with music streamers? I have Autonomic mms servers running on my network controlled by Crestron Pyng. Without fail these apps will drop the sound and have to be continually restarted to get sound back. I also use Tidal but do not...

I think this is an industry-wide problem. Because I've heard how bad 'Star-Trek' TNG,DS9,VOY sounded on CBS-All-access. And I've heard others complain about Netflix and Amazon. No attention is given to audio-quality. I've just picked up a Roku for the first time. And I tried to watch 'The...

I want to connect my iLive soundbar to TV by a digital optical for best sound but also want to connect the TV audio to my AV Receiver for best streaming audio. Can I use a splitter to handle this? I don't use the soundbar when watching streaming since I am listening through my 5.1 system. Is a...

You could win a Denon DNP-800NE network audio player, so what are you waiting for? Enter today! Unless you live off the grid—in which case, you're not reading this—you know that streaming audio has become one of the primary ways we listen to music these days. Unfortunately, it's often lower...

Has anyone been successful in getting streaming audio (Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu) to play through Home Theater 5.1 system using a Samsung 4K TV and an Onkyo Receiver TX-NR626? I have not. I would appreciate any tips as to key settings. Thanks. I am losing hope that I can make this work.

The new miniDSP SHD series of processors brings Dirac Live room compensation to the world of 2-channel audio streaming. Dirac Live is a well-regarded algorithm that compensates for a room's acoustic problems. It is implemented in a variety of audio products, including processors from miniDSP...

My first "serious" stereo receiver was a Yamaha R-7, and I loved the way it sounded with a pair of Infinity RS5000 speakers. Now, the company has leveraged six decades of hi-fi engineering experience in the new Yamaha R-N303 stereo receiver with far more capability than my old R-7—and it costs...

Oppo is well known for focusing on delivering superb audio fidelity with its universal disc players as well as its headphones. At high-end audio shows, I typically lose count of how many Oppo UDPs enjoy a prime spot in equipment stacks. Now, with the Sonica DAC ($800), Oppo eliminates spinning...

I hope I am posting this in the right forum. I have a canon 80D and have 2 røde NTG3 mics as well as a binaural mic with a regular XLR cable. So what I would love to do is live stream some videos using those devices. I plug in my canon to the pc with USB, and I could plug in a røde into my...

I currently have an inexpensive whole house audio setup... Google Music -> Google Cast -> (grouped)ChromeCast Audios -> Anker SoundCore speakers. This works pretty well for my purposes and has a great price point (~$60/room). My wife has a large collection of (older) CDs and tapes and simply...

The power of object-based audio is coming to a TV near you, thanks to Dolby's AC-4 audio format. More efficient compression and support for object-based audio allows viewers to control their listening experience like never before. By treating dialog as an object, the new format allows viewers...

I have an old Core 2 Duo pc running Windows 10 that I have set up as a home server hooked up via ethernet to my U-verse router. I have my whole music selection stored on it recorded mainly in Flac and 320 kbps mp3s which I stream to other devices around the home. I mainly listen to my music...

Hi, I've searched this forum for a general bluetooth audio thread but could not find one, just a bunch of questions (which I have as well) but thought maybe a place for all bluetooth tech questions could be assimilated. If there is a thread I missed, can someone please share that link with...

I imagine this inquiry will demonstrate my total ignorance of the subject area - so please no name calling. I am in need of a new cd player. I also am interested in streaming from both streaming services and internet radio to bee played on my stereo system speakers. I have read very favorable...

I have a question about the best hardware for personal audio streaming. I had a jailbroken Apple TV 2 with XBMC that accessed all my FLAC files on a server for playing in my home theater setup. I loved the sound quality and the XBMC interface, but hated dealing with a jailbroken, outdated...
