    External Audio Licensing is Ridiculous

    There are some

    You just aren't looking hard enough

    OFFICALLY licensed products do support DAC

    for example turtle beach stealth ultra comes with a DAC built in no third party non supported device needed

    That's just.one example

    You just.can't use unlicensed.third party devices

    If you want to add your third party devices you ask them to support consoles not console makers

    Consoles only produce the official channels of support

    Whenever your third party device actually willing to support you by providing compatible devices is upto them.not console.makers.as console makers don't own them

    Xbox not video not showing for Samsung Q90R sound bar

    Are the Netflix and Disney Plus Apps installed on the TV itself (so the TV is the actual sound source), or are you using an external device for these Apps (like a Fire-TV Stick or other set-top box connected to the TV)?

    You might have to contact Samsung support, so they could tell you if it's possible at all to get Atmos returned to the sound bar from an external HDMI source.

    Since it costs an additional license from Dolby to return Dolby from an input to another output device, some TV makers won't allow certain audio signals to go from an external input to a soundbar or audio receiver, and only have sound that is produced by
    the TV itself go to an external audio system.

    Game DVR

    NBA 2K14 excludes audio from game clips. Because of licensed music and sound effects that couldn't be licensed. Audio is excluded from gameclips and steams on Xbox One and PS4.

    Xbox one external hard drive games audio crash

    Hello Vash,

    Sorry for the issue with your audio on games. We recommend one of the games you are having an audio issue with, install it on the internal HD. Then unplug the external and try the game see if it still has audio issues. This will test to see if it the external
    HD or the Xbox.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    A 40gb download is just ridiculous.

    Have they added external drives yet?
