Audio issues with Roku Express 4K connected to a Samsung HT-E5500

Hello everyone!

Since a couple of days I am a new owner of a Roku Express 4K. It is connected to my Samsung HT-E5500 AVR. However, now Dolby is not playing, only stereo. Before that I had a Fire TV Stick 2nd gen. and everything worked fine. The AVR is supposed to be able to handle DD and DD+ and DTS.

In my Roku audio options it says DD and DTS is available. Everything is on auto, the noise level reduction is off and so is also the Roku sounds.

Whereas in my WOW TV App on the Fire Stick I was able to choose German 5.1 as a soundoption, the WOW TV App on the Roku only shows the languages Englisch and German without 5.1.

Does anyone have an idea? Latest software is installed.

Thanks in advance and kind regards

southcamp

      Hello!

      The device is directly connected to the Samsung AVR, not the TV. I tried to change settings etc., but nothing worked.

      Regards
