Hello,
my FTV 2 is connected to a new Denon avr-x1200w 4k av receiver.
I tried today some DTS and DD samples in Kodi 16 Beta3. I'm gettig just a weird noise out of my speakers. I thought the DTS issues got fixed with 5.0.3.1 Update?!
My okyo SR607 worked without any problems few days ago with same setup.
Any advice?
Done some more testing today:
FTV 2 connected directly to my old LG LK950S TV, same noise with passtrough on in kodi with DTS and DD Files.
FTV 2 connected with TX-SR607, passtrough works fine in Kodi.
I don't get which device is the problem since my TV isn't HDCP 2.2 compatible and still don't play DTS/DD. I thought the problem is related to new 4k receivers with hdcp 2.2 like my new Denon?!? But why is my old LG also not able to decode DD via Kodi??
So who messed it up? Amazon or Denon? Sadly i sold my FTV 1, with it I could check if the new Denon is working with passtrough.
just tried on my yam rx-v1073...works fine.
AFTV2 5.0.3 + Kodi 15.2 + DTS and passthrough enabled in the settings. DTS comes on the Yam display is happily passing through over HDMI 1.4

Apologies if this is in the wrong place...
Got the Firetv a week ago and have been playing around with it. Wanted it basically to play my movie collection from my PC over the network. I'm doing it with an xbox 360 right now but as you know the interface is....basic.
So FireTV is connected to my Pioneer vsk1120 via HDMI. I rented Walter Mitty from Amazon and it played fine and receiver indicated Dolby Digital Plus on the display the sound was good.
I loaded up XBMC. Pointed it to my PC and movies. XBMC is cool as it tell me the codec and audio it is. So I start Oblivion, receiver says Stereo. If I play it back via xbox, receiver will say Dolby Digital.
So Firetv only output digital on amazon content or any idea whats going on here?
TIA,
Scott

I would love to hear feedback on this. I originally returned my Fire TV due to plex being unable to play dolby digital audio. Now I'm sitting in front of my new Fire TV just delivered hoping XBMC solves the issue.

Make sure you enable the option for "Supports Dolby Digital" and "Supports DTS" in the settings. I can get DD and DTS working just fine.

Where in settings? I can go to system/system settings/audio output...but those options arent' there. And I do have the Firetv set to Dolby Digital Plus over HDMI.

I'm not at home now, but I believe it's under Settings, Video and you should see the option for Passthrough.
Version issue??
I orig loaded the 'amazon firetv' optimized version. I uninstalled that and go the latest nightly and it has the enable dd and dts options. That did the trick. Xbox's days may be numbered.

Bingo. I didn't get a chance to update last night but I unboxed and installed XBMC. Initially 5.1 did not work. I found the passthrough setting and everything worked fine.
Wait, so which version of XBMC has the passthrough setting to enable DD and DTS to the receiver without first decoding?

I just installed the firetv box and i am getting no sound at all! I tried every hdmi port and changed the hdmi cable but no luck. I went to the firetv settings and turned off Dolby over Hdmi but still nothing. I have my directv using one of the hdmi ports and I switched to that port knowing that its working fine and still no sound from my firetv. I plugged it into another tv and its working fine. Before i got the amazon firetv, i first started using the Roku 2 and that was working fine on this specific tv. Im just having issues with the Firetv sound. Im so frustrated!! i need help!!
Picked up a new 4K monitor a couple weeks ago and today when I got the 4K Fire TV, I found out this monitor (along with most current 4k PC monitors) doesn't support HDCP 2.2. This means the FireTV will not output in 4K, which is the main purpose I chose this streaming box.
Is there a way I can bypass that HDCP requirement? I figured this might be doable via a hack or CFW, so I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys,
I have a weird problem I cannot solve and it drives me crazy.
My girlfriend and I have an older Philips TV (t315xw02vf). As we enjoy watching Amazon Prime and Netflix, we bought the new FireTV 3rd gen. Not that we needed the newest version, it just wasn't possible to buy an older one via Amazon Germany.
Now the problem: the TV won't recognize the FireTV. It keeps showing "No signal". All HDMI inputs of the TV work, I tried with my laptop and an HDMI cable. The FireTV itself works, too, I tried at my parents house (they have a newer TV). Of course, the FireTV is active, it even gets slightly warm. I also tried to set the resolution to the lowest possible (via my parents TV), but even then the problem stays.
I consulted Google, and it seems there are known problems with HDCP 2.2, but I thought that was only a problem with 4k streaming. Or does the FireTV 3rd Gen use HDMI 2.0 and my TV has only 1.0? Does anybody know a solution? As we are students, the FireTV was quite expensive for us, and buying a new TV is no solution either...
I'd be really grateful for help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
My Panasonic TV normally switches on automatic when I press a button on the remote of my second generation fire tv stick, but this stopped after the June 15 update on my stick. Hdmi cec is turned on on the stick as well as on the TV. Is it a known bug? Or what else could I check?
Seeing the same on a Phillips tv. Stock FireTV Stick v2
Ditto, same problem with HDMI-CEC not working

I am also experiencing the same problem with Nvidia Shield 1st generation and the AFTV 2nd generation box. Each box got an update within a week or two from each other. After the updates, none of the AFTV or the NS boxes HDMI-CEC features work anymore. I have checked and rechecked and have completed a series of resets and tests to verify functionality, but each had the results of not working.
I am wondering if the developer vender is the same one that is hired by each company. If that is the case, then there could be more devices out there that is experiencing the same issue. Anyone have a fix or know of a knowledge database where I can check to see if there is a fix or a workaround?
Try the Home button on the fire TV remote. I noticed the same behavior with/to my LG television, formerly every button switched on my TV. Since the update only the Home works.

Has anyone figured out a fix to this? I am also experiencing this issue on my Samsung TV. I've tried all buttons, no avail. This issue exists on both of my Amazon devices: Fire TV 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen.
Same here
I have the same problem. Hdmi CEC stopped working on my Fire TV (1. Gen). CEC ist active on my TV and Fire TV but the TV (Samsung) does not turn on anymore. Failure is in Amazon device, because my Google Chromecast and PS4 do turn on the TV. A already swapped the Hdmi ports to exclude failure in the port on the TV. I'm sure the Amazon Fire TV is guilty. Amazon is crap in terms of software development and bug fixing. For example, the android companion app for alexa does not work on my devices with android pie. It crashs at start. Amazon support told me, I should test an older version of the app... several month passed, still no solution - that's very unprofessional. I replaced all Echos by Google Homes. Now it seems, it is time to replace all Fire TVs.
