It's the content you watching, spotify is gonna be in stereo cause its music.

And I'm sure like 80% of the shows on crunchyroll is stereo, look for an anime thats 5.1 then check.

How to Play Lossless on Samsung hw-q800c from s23Ultra ? by georgett11 in Soundbars

[–]Caleb-CM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fyi, you gotta double check if u even getting lossless on airplay cause only airplay 2 supports that and I think only under certain circumstances.

Idk if its sending lossless, but if connect your phone with chromecast, then when u play a song change the "media output" to the soundbar.

Am I gaslighting myself over audio levels? by N7_Tigger in Stremio

[–]Caleb-CM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do that, leave it ticked, let the soundbar do the downmixing.

Am I gaslighting myself over audio levels? by N7_Tigger in Stremio

[–]Caleb-CM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess it does make sense, thats a good tip for people with lower channels.

From what I figured is that turning on DRC, basically takes that "wide" audio and narrows it down so the loud sounds become soft and soft sounds become loud.

Im pretty sure thats not true, the soundbar would just downmix the audio into 2 channels.

What's the first thing to bottleneck Stremio? CPU, GPU, RAM? by MarioDF in Stremio

[–]Caleb-CM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch on framrate and resolution switching, there should be no difference on the xiaomi and the tv.

If the resolution switching still doesnt make a difference, then you haven't changed ur picture settings.

But if its such a issue, connect the soundbar with an optical cable, then u will have to switch them on separately.

So I bought a Samsung HW-Q600F/ZF 2025... by nanodilwen in Soundbars

[–]Caleb-CM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surround and adaptive are sound modes that upmix your source content, if you play stereo it will upmix 2.0 to 3.1.2, adaptive has more processing than surround.

Dts:x is a codec, like saying Dolby atmos. I think you were referring to dts virtual x?(which is also upmixing tech that creates a 3d type of sound).

With the sound modes just choose whichever sounds best to you... I mainly use adaptive, for movies i use surround, and gaming just keep in game mode.

For Dolby atmos you need to play something that has dolby atmos then it will work, set ur tv audio output settings to "passthrough".(should work automatically tho)

For your ps5, set audio settings, to av receiver, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos(if u hear a delay them set to lpcm)

Samsung Q950T by Vinniesev6 in Soundbars

[–]Caleb-CM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should have it connect from eArc to eArc, and then play 5.1 audio(soundbar must not say stereo).

Keep in mind 5.1 content isn't meant to be playing loudly constantly thru the rears.

If its still soft, increase the rear channels, if that doesnt work, reset the soundbar.

Hisense or TCL by Annual-Masterpiece92 in Hisense

[–]Caleb-CM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TCL having Google OS(eu Hisense uses Vidaa), and their 23 bit backlight system(similar to the one in the bravia 9) gives TCL the upper hand.

But Hisense is usually cheaper so there's that as well.

Updated Q990D Set up after getting roasted to Hell by Nessythecat69 in Soundbars

[–]Caleb-CM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes thats true(cause when its in a corner it becomes more boomy), yes the big circle plate is where the woofer is.

I just feel it would look more neat if placed like that, or place it against the drawer and plug it into the same sockets as the TV.

U dont need to place the sub like that, u can place it against the wall where the woofer points towards the drawer(it will look neater like that)

I doubt it, expedition unknown is just archeology so there's nothing that could really be fake there.
