[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 1131577, member: 1447"] Most likely because via the digital output it is trying to play multi channel surround sound but you only now have front left and right only playing - since it isn't downmixing the audio from your video playback so all the sounds that should be playing from the center and surrounds as well as the sub are all being lost or not played and it sounds weak because only the actual audio from front left and right can be heard - if you are using a video app you need to set it to downmix surround sound so all the audio is no longer 5 channel and is mixed into 2 channel and played via your stereo speakers KODI does this downmixing and you can tell it to play stereo or full surround or even specify 2.1 so you can have stereo with the dedicated sub I don't know what other apps do downmixing of surround into stereo - since I never had to use anything other than KODI [/QUOTE]
