Movies & TV, unable to change betweek audio tracks, selects the last audio tack by default

here is my 10 cents on the matter.

Most Blu rays movies have multiple audio tracks; one being the compressed lossless audio track and the uncompressed audio track but the difference between them two is the resolution. I have seen some uncompressed audio be 16bit and then see compressed
lossless audio be 24bit or even 36bit. Which if you listen to both you do hear a difference.

I like to see this changed as well (nothing beats visually seeing what your really hearing), but you could make sure that before playing your movie have it select the compressed lossless audio track before playing the movie. This will ensure that xbox
decoding the right track.

It seems that the Movie&TV app doesn't have the proper Atmos Decoder for an Atmos audio track muxed into an MKV. So unfortunately, the only way to get Atmos is to use original BluRay discs with an Atmos audio track.

The general audio settings on the Xbox do not impact the audio output from DVD's or Blu-ray discs. Movie discs already have the audio stored in multiple formats on selectable tracks. When I select one of those tracks in the DVD menus, the audio track is spit out directly to the audio receiver without any interpolation from the Xbox. This works correctly for every track I have tried, except DTS Digital Surround.



Btw, DTS Digital Surround is generally considered to be a superior format to Dolby Digital. This is why DTS Digital Surround is commonly found on special editions of DVD's of high intensity action movies, which feature loud sound effects.

You may find that you might have to manually select the audio output on your TV. ie, change the setting from TV speaker to external speaker, therefore changing the audio output to the red & white audio output sockets on the back or side of the TV.

yeah the in game audio, if my TV is up loud does that mean the DVR is recording the audio equally as loud?

No, your specific TV volume will not change the recorded volume of in-game sound on DVR. With certain external video editing software, It seperates the video track from the audio, allowing adjustment of sound level, as well as the adding of more audio tracks
(I.E., music, voice-over, etc), in which custom adjust of volume can be made as well.
