LG CX DTS Problem

Post by FrancescoV140681 »

Hello everybody,

i bought a new TV. An LG OLED65CX9LA. I am very happy, but there is one thing i don't know. This TV don't support DTS Sound. Know when i play a movie from my PC with DTS Sound the TV told me an sound error and i hear nothing. Is there a possibility to transcode the DTS File with UMS to an File that the TV understand?

I hope you can help me.

Greetings

Yes it is, but it requires that somebody (you probably) creates a renderer configuration file for your new TV that tells UMS to do so. The easiest way is probably to copy an existing file that's almost correct, and just modify this (to tell UMS that the TV doesn't support DTS, remove all instances of "dts" following a: in the "Supported" section).

Creating or modifying renderer configurations isn't exactly intuitive, and there's no good documentation that I know of, but you can find countless threads about the topic on this forum. It might take you some time, but you will find all the information you need by searching this forum.

Give this conf a try. Its a modified LG-WebOS config I made for my parents TV. It's not perfect and I have only done a few tests with it but may work better for you as it has DTS removed from supported formats.

The problem is that you need to have the device to test it - and there are thousands of different UPnP AV/DLNA capable devices out there. No developer can buy them all to make working configs for them... so the only real solution is that somebody that has the device in question makes the configuration. What UMS should provide is proper documentation for how to do this, but it has been explained over and over again on this forum so anyone that's willing to invest some time will be able to figure it out.

O. K. I am ready to make this. I can help to make a configuration for the LG CX TV's or for the Webos TV's without DTS Support.

The only thing I can't do is writing the configuration.

Hello everybody,

so i have some news. When i turn on all transcoding settings i have sound with the modified conf but no HDR. If I disable the transcoding settings i have HDR but no more sound. So we have to make a modified conf with HDR and sound. Perhaps someone has an idea to bring this together? I dont know.

Greetings
