For Windows 8.1 users, here's a workaround for the Netflix sound bug. I verified that it worked on my NUC. From Intel forum user boombia:
Quote:While the Netflix app is running on the TV and a 5.1 DD+ audio track selected (i.e., with no sound output and skipping most video frames), go into the Speaker Setup configuration (right click on the Speakers icon, Playback Devices, select Intel Display Audio device, and click on Configure). Choose Stereo option and click Next a couple of times, followed by Finished.
I get an error message: "Format not supported by this device.", and the Netflix Metro App automatically reloads the film in Dolby Digital Plus and plays it OK from then on. The Intel Display Audio device stays configured as 5.1 (the Stereo option doesn't stick).
I hope this helps somehow until Intel/Netflix manage to figure out this problem.
