Opus 7.1 audio problems

Opus 7.1 audio problems

BY 27 Feb 2025 General Support

When watching movies on Samsung TVs that have Opus 7.1 audio you can hear rustling noises in audio. The audio is still getting playing but with rustling noises in the background.

I’m using Samsung TV model: QE65QN90CATXXH

Current software version: 2020

The problem is present on all movies that uses Opus 7.1. The Opus 5.1 audio works great on all the movies, so the problem seems to be for only Opus 7.1.

I’m using Emby application to play those movies (no encoding on audio or video performed) and Emby seems to be using build in video player. So the issue seems to be on Tizen side.

I have found someone reporting the same issue years ago, but it seems that Emby developers can not do anything as they are using internal video player that has this issue: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/123681-opus-71-not-properly-supported/
