Hi i just purchased this MiBox and upgraded to latest build 2396.
I am using USB3 to watch 4k movies. I connect the MIbox to a 5.1 Yamaha AV using HDMI.
- What i noticed is that i need to set the "Audio Output" to "Auto" (rather than PCM) to get 5.1 surround sound working. Why dont they just have a "Dolby" option?
- Also noticed that if i change the audio track during the movie (e.g. from 7.1 to 5.1), I won't be able to hear anything UNTIL I restart the box. I think this is related to the fact that i chose "Auto" audio output. I can hear 5.1, but it is quite annoying to have to restart the box everytime i change the track.
- Finally I noticed that the playback stutters if I use the 4K subtitles that come with the 4k movies. I go and download my own subtitle and then there is no stutter. I am using 2160P 50hz
Anyone else have these observations?
