<html>Hi,<br /><br /> Despite recent warnings about HDMI multichannel sound, as in the recent thread by Justin:<br /><br />https://lists.gt.net/mythtv/users/614458?search_string=nuc;#614458<br /><br /> I just bought a NUC6CAYH as my next frontend after running into non-mythtv difficulty with a Chinese N3450 device. This will be my first NUC.<br /><br />The build quality and EFI options look very good and I am intending mythtv frontend to co-habit with a Logitech Media Server for my sound archive.<br /><br />One of the first decisions is how and whether to update the HDMI firmware. My TV is an older, HDMI 1.4 device and my sound chain is:<br /><br />MythTV -> TV over HDMI<br />TV -> amplifier over tioslink<br /><br />This chain has been capable of playing back Dolby digital and DTS 5.1.<br /><br />It looks as if I have the following options, while my windows ssd is screwed into the device:<br /><br />1. Parform the HDMI firmware upgrade whilke connected to a friend's HDMI 2.0 compatible TV<br />2. Perform the HDMI firmware upgrade while connected to my own, HDMI 1.4 TV<br />3. Don't perform the upgrade.<br /><br />As I understand it, the upgrade needs to be performed with a HDMI 2.0 compatible screen attached in order to fix the HDMI 2.0 related sound issues, but I don't know if this will adversely affect sound quality over HDMI 1.4?<br /><br />Advice would be appreciated.<br /><br />BR.<br /><br />--Marius--<br /> </html>
