Hi,
I have purchased a new Samsung RU7100 smart TV. The audio output I have channelled through the optical out to my minidsp 2x4 hd which goes to my stereo amplifier. I have set the sound output on TV to optical and format to PCM, since I have a stereo setup. The problem is when I play movies on Netflix, amazon prime, or hotstar app on the TV, the volume output is very low, even when it is turned high on my amp. At the same time, if I play music on spotify app, the volume is normal and music sounds as good as on my chromecast audio. So there is nothing wrong with the connections. I don't know how to fix this. There is no volume control on TV for optical out devices. I suspect the problem is with the audio format, as most of these video apps are by default 5.1, but I am not sure. I hope there is a fix. Any help is appreciated.
