Hi,

I am very happy with my NUC but was missing a remote. I ordered one and got it delivered today. It does work, but only with the USB IR receiver that came with it, and not with the internal IR receiver in the NUC itself. I am running OpenELEC 4.0.6 (Gotham). Is there a setting I am missing? Do I have to change anything in the BIOS?

I looked on this thread as well as on the intel website, but to me it seems that for everybody else it works out of the box?!

Any help would be appreciated!

There are ways to use pretty much any remote, given the approriate drivers and setup.

Oh god! This still hasn't been resolved. I haven't checked the thread for a couple of months, so I was hoping it was fixed.

Is anyone else having problems with 5.1 audio in Netflix under Win 8.1?
2.0 is fine, but if I enable 5.1 it lags horribly. It basically runs in slow motion with no sound.

I'm really beginning to regret getting this unit...

Same experience I had. I now use a $15 usb soundcard for both optical toslink and 5.1 analog audio to my AVR (which is not HDMI capable). Setting the 5.1 analog output as default device in Windows, and digital output for passthrough in XBMC - I now get 5.1 from the Netflix metro app. It still won't do HDMI bitstream passthrough - but as my current AVR doesn't do HDMI anyway, and my TV doesn't do E-AC-3 - I have no way to test that anymore. In my current setup, Windows do closed decoding of the E-AC-3 (Dolby Digital Plus) stream, and outputs it 6-ch analog.

I'm starting to think maybe the PAP (Protective Audio Path) needed for DTS-HD/MA bitstream passthrough over HDMI in Win 8, is a hardware failure in the NUC, or a wrongly written DHCP identifier. If it was a software/driver issue - they really should have figured it out by now. If anyone getting one with the N2830 tests this, I guess we can get a better resolvement. If it indeed is/were an hardware issue - it would most surely be fixed in the new N28x0 revisions.
