That support is very likely very limited and it's easy to stumble upon something in your setup that makes it not work. I know for a fact that some TV's can't send received DD+ audio from HDMI to an external speaker setup. So... DD+ on crappy internal TV speakers is "support"?
Let's also please avoid the discussion how people should have had done more research before their purchase(s), it's not like any of this is properly documented.
- izacus 5y agoYes, sending 5.1 audio stream to your DD+ stream to your TV _is_ support (and for example, will work with pretty much every DD+ supporting AVR out there). The fact that your TV then destroys it cannot be an issue with the original hardware no matter how much you want to hedge on it in your last sentence. Chromecast can't change the fact that your TV messes up the signal.
- Avamander 5y agoI didn't say it wasn't support, I said it's limited. Not to mention there are use-cases like projectors, where such a limitation is even more likely to exist. It is an issue with the original hardware to rely on something it can't detect and doesn't have fallbacks for. Chromecast can absolutely change what physical outputs it offers. Say instead of talking about relying on DD+ passthrough, it lacked the support for YCbCr 4:2:2 and required RGB 8:8:8 from all displays, then that too would be something Chromecast does wrong.
