Xbox Video / Latest Movie Releases / Audio Issues

Has anyone else noticed the audio on the latest movie releases are off? Voices are coming from the right channel (front).

I don't know if it's my Xbox One or what. It's crazy is all I can say. Let me see if any of you are experiencing the same problem or if my system is the culprit.

This evening I was watching trailers for the newly released movies. I first started with Non-Stop and Jack Ryan as they were the two I was interested in purchasing. The audio was screwy. I wasn't getting much from the center channel. Voices were coming out
of my right front speaker. I watched the trailer to Pompeii, Robocop and 3 Days to Kill with the same result.

I thought maybe it was an issue with the trailers so I purchased Non-Stop and Jack Ryan (should have just purchased one to test) thinking the full movie would not have the problem. No go. They did.

Thinking it could be a problem with Xbox Video I launched the VuDu application and watched the same trailers with the same result.

I did a hard reset not only with my receiver, but with the Xbox One and went through the same scenarios above. Nothing changed.

Next, I pulled up past video purchases (Home Front, The Mortal Instruments, Captain America, Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, etc.). Odd! The audio on all these were fine.

So...I fired up my Oppo Blu-ray player and tried a few Blu-rays. Audio once again was perfect. I launched the VuDu application on the Oppo player and the trailers mentioned above worked fine. Audio had no issues.

I then tried several Blu-rays in the Xbox One with no issues.

I'm thoroughly confused.

Would anyone else with a surround sound setup verify if they are having any problems like this?

I tried both DTS and Dolby Digital, btw.

Audio Quality of Movies Downloaded from Xbox Video

Hey all,

I have a quick technical question about the audio quality of movies on the Xbox Video marketplace.

I recently downloaded a movie from Xbox Video on to my Windows 8 PC and checked the properties; Windows reported that the movie was encoded with 2-channel stereo audio at 192 kbp/s.

My question is this: If a movie downloaded via Xbox Video to my 360 is encoded with 2-channel audio, will the console convert it to 5.1 during playback (I have it hooked up to a Dolby 5.1 home theatre system)? Or is the video/audio quality of the movie dependent
on the type of device to which it was downloaded (i.e., do movies downloaded to a 360 have different properties than those downloaded to a PC)?

Thanks

P.S. The movie in question is Iron Man 3 (a fairly new, big-budget release), so production age/quality shouldn't be a factor.

 

October update

Anyone tried streaming a movie over DLNA since the latest update? I have a GB wired connection to my media server but movie playback seems to have a slight stutter/delay between picture and audio. Just enough jitter to be really annoying. Music playback
is working great, so glad to have this added! Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with movie/video playback?

 

Bump.

Anyone happen to try these two movies on your surround sound system with same result?
