Hi Guys,

I bought a NUCI3BEH some time ago with the idea of using it as a media player feeding my Onkyo AVR and Samsung TV with beautiful 4k HDR content while bitstreaming the audio to be decoded by the AVR.

According the specs from Intel all of this is possible using the Nuc's Hdmi 2.0a port.
I tried various media players in both Windows 10 and 11 without success. Video works without any issues, but audio is not. I can't get any form multi channel audio via Hdmi let alone bitstreaming any HD audio streams. Latest driver, latest Bios as well as the latest Hdmi firmware. The moment I switch the output from anything other than stereo I get no sound what so ever.

I also tried various Linux flavors like Openelec, exactly the same issue.

Can anyone give some input on what to try next?
