So I mainly wanted to use the mini for Plex in my living room. I have the HDMI going into my receiver and the "Send raw audio" option is checked. Audio works overall, and with other apps, but every video I play in Plex has no audio.
Is this related to the audio codecs being yanked from the OS?
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
This might be unrelated, but I get no sound from Vainglory (a game). It seems like the system doesn't even detect any media playback, because when I use volume rocker it changes notification volume and not media volume. Reinstalling doesn't help
Just to clarify, I'm running remix on my Nexus 9

Just wondering if any of you guys have had any issues with Slacker Radio's audio quality streaming over Bluetooth after updating to Froyo? I have my N1 paired to a Clarion CZ500 and have had no previous issues with audio quality before 2.2 if anything the audio quality was superior. Funny thing is though, the music player plays media crystal clear, and everything else audio wise is coming through the speakers very clear. Is it possible that the audio from Slacker is getting sent over the HFP (hands free phone) instead of A2DP? I don't know much about Bluetooth stack stuff.
Also, the music player starts automatically as soon as A2DP is connected, really annoying as when I put my phone in the car dock, I have it set to launch Slacker, so it plays Slacker and the music player. Also, audio controls from the head unit seem to only control the music app instead of Slacker (never did this till Froyo)
Any help or tips would be appreciated, thanks!
I haven't tried slacker radio on 2.2 yet but I have tried a couple of media players, 3 (cubed) player and MixZing and they both have the same audio quality as the built in media player.
I am having the same issue as you are with the bluetooth control of music, it only controls the stock music player and not the others. I did have MixZing working the first time I hooked it up after installing but then it reverted back to the default player for control.
I am going to try to contact the developers of those apps to see if anything can be done about it.
same problem with bluetooth streaming music
I started having the same problem after i installed froyo! stock player, cubed, doubletwist all stream good still. Pandora and Slacker both suck now when streaming via bluetooth.
Yesterday, Pandora released an update and that seams to have fixed the quality now (BUT ONLY when streaming on the high quality setting). This is good, since it is usable, but I would like to still use the standard quality setting, so that the music buffering doesn't lag as much.
Anybody have any info on this?
people, there have been numerous threads created on this very topic over the past few days, please use the search function and there is currently no fix. Were just gonna have to wait.
I got mine from Amazon yesterday and I have troubleshooted extensively. No matter what I do I cannot get sound.
I have:
Made sure all volumes were cranked up (TV, Device, Chrome Tab, Audio Enabled)
I have tested on my PC's browser (Video, no sound)
Tested Google music on Phone and Tablet (Video, no sound)
Tested different HDMI ports (Video, no sound)
Tested a Roku box (Video and Sound)
I cannot find anything on the internet regarding anybody else having this issue. Did I get a bum unit? Any other advice? Please HELP!
when i connect my tf701t with a hdmi cable to the tv set and play a video file
used various players bs player , mx player, vlc but the sound seems very bassy. i have reduced the tv settings but it makes little difference. is there a way of configuring the sound on the tablet?
please advise?
Try the DSP Manager. It gives you several sound tweaks and an equalizer.

my asus is not rooted? its standard firmware
Hello to everybody, thanks for reading.
I will start with facts: on one hand, i have my desktop pc connected via hdmi to my tv, whose analog audio output is connected to my speakers. On the other hand, i also have a Chromecast 2 connected to the tv.
So in both cases, audio output is the same, BUT sounds different (and here's the issue).
For example, when i play anything (netflix, Spotify) through my computer, sound is fine, perfect. But when i do it via Chromecast through my android phone apps, sound is definitely worse: louder and a little bit distorted, like noisier.
I guess that the difference should be on Chromecast or phone audio driver (apparently working worse than pc drivers). But i don't even know if phone's audio is relevant here or not.
What do you think? What can i do? Thanks!
Do you have any other HDMI only devices to check the audio? Maybe there is something wrong in the TV with incoming audio on HDMI.

No, but i tried playing and sending Spotify to Chromecast through another phone, and i detected that sounded different than mine. So each phone's audio driver definitely made the difference by equalizing in different way. So I'm closer to conclude that problem may rely on my phones audio eq

That's so weird because from what I understand the chromecast works by receiving a stream URL and fetching the content itself. Your phones audio eq shouldn't matter.

Check the Apps to make sure they don't have any Audio Boosting features enabled.
Also try lowering the volume on the Apps to see if you can match the sound from the computer.
The Loudness and Distortion sounds to me like you are overdriving the HDMI input past what it should be.
Setting the volume lower should solve that and get rid of the distortion.
I have no issues with the chrome cast. I would check the connection on the TV or it maybe the chrome cast

Results will vary from device to device, TV to TV, App to App....Even from content to content.
Reasons why it can happen include:
Encoder/Transcoder used to create the content or stream boosted audio or failed to set levels to normalize it.
App (used to send the stream) has allowed volume control to boost low audio which would mean full volume on that App is much higher than +4 dBu expected by a digital device. This is done by App devs more for playback on speakers but that extra boost can distort the digital being sent to the CCast. Volume levels out of range will distort as the DSP doesn't know what to do with it. Remember the Device that launched the stream uses it's volume control to tell the CCast what level audio to send to the TV.
It can even be a simple matter of a dirty HDMI connection or bad handshake between the CCast and TV.
Both the CCast and the TV expect what we call a NOMINAL Level or (+4, -10 dBu depending on the TV model). This Level is supposed to allow enough headroom for louder sections to not distort while maintaining a decent range of quiet to loud.
If you go past this you are essentially cutting out whatever headroom exists and at some point everything gets distorted.
The solution is to lower the volume on the input (in this case the App sending the stream) and if needed raise it on the output (in this case the TV).
It may be counter to how Google expected and wanted the CCast system to work but it really is better (albeit less convenient) to control the volume on the TV as opposed to the App. Setting the App to full volume can easily lead to distortion.
Try playing a movie or show with ac3 audio. I can only hear one of the audio streams and usually not the voice stream. My other mono speaker phones just pushes all the audio streams into the one output but for some reason on the Nubia z20, it doesnt do this. Can others confirm?

I am not experiencing an issue with Plex playback of AC3 audio. I have a global Z20 with global ROM.
Very odd. I have no problem with the audio if I tell Plex to use an external player like VLC but when using the internal Plex player it doesnt play all the tracks.
