All my video files output fine through HDMI except the ones encoded in 6 channel 5.1. It seems that with the Dolby mobile protocol it should handle 5.1 no problem.
Has anyone been able to output 5.1 out of the tablet?

I just used the TF for outputting HDMI to my TV and noticed that no sound outputs to my home theatre system.
When I plug the laptop to the HDMI port to view videos I get HDMI output, I'm wondering if there is some setting on the TF that I'm missing.
EDITED To ADD: The home theatre was messed up....my son hit the wrong button....all is well...
It outputs stereo, so depending on your stereo system you might have to set it in stereo mode.

Yeah, without the ability to decode DTS or AC3 streams, the TF won't output in true surround sound. It will just do stereo for now.
Can I hook up an usb dac to the nexus player? I want to connect the nexus player through a quality USB DAC to my amplifier (which only has analog stereo inputs).
Currently I have a chromecast and use the headphone out jack of my TV to feed the amplifier, but this is less then ideal.
Would something like this do the job?

Yes, it might do the job. However, i read in the reviews that HMDI audio extractors can cause troubles with video sync and HDCP. Also, I want one with good audio quality. Most HDMI extractors are not reviewed by HIFI magazines.
So a good quality HDMI pass-through DAC reviewed by HIFI people start at $250,-, they are more expensive then their USB only counterparts of similar quality.
USB DACs are way more common. I can get a better quality USB DAC for $150,- (the ODAC by nwavguy)
I read that android 5.0 supports USB dacs (at least on mobile phones). Since the nexus player also has android 5.0, it should hopefully also support an USB DAC.
I'd like to do the same with my Icon Nuforce Dac, so I'm interested in the answer as well. thank you for the question.
Just an FYI that I am using an HDMI audio extractor with a Chromecast on a secondary TV. The TV (Sony) and receiver (Onkyo) are both 4 or 5 years old and were lower end units. Neither had pass-thru which was making me crazy until I figured out the problem (why no audio from the Chromecast)
I picked up one of the J-River (?) Extractors on Amazon. Reviews were mixed so I wasn't expecting much, but it works perfect. I plug the Chromecast into the extractor and run HDMI video and optical audio to my receiver. I've experienced no issues at all with audio out of sync and the sound is very good.
I am not an audiophile & not sure if this will help with your DAC question, but since I had good luck with splitting my audio/video via an extractor, I thought I'd mention it just in case.
I read that latest version of Android operating system for mobile (Lollipop) supports usb DACs.
Can we expect the operating system of the Android TV to support it as well?
I am getting a nexus Monday and i look forward to trying it out. The problem is i have an older receiver that doesn't have hdmi, only optical. I want to get Passthrough on Plex,Netflix, etc. I was considering an hdmi extractor or using a usb dac to get optical out of it. What do you guys about that setup? I am also worried about netflix dd+ not working as dd like it does on atv.
Hello,
i bought the SCISHION V88 Android Set-Top-Box.
It has an RK3229 with Android 6.1.
The HDMI port works great but the AV Port delivers no Video Signal an the Option Display Output TV is greyd out.
Is there an additional Firmware that supports the AV video Signal.
The sound works with AV.
In my tv no hdmi arc but support HDMI Audio out . what is the difference. And audio pass through missing after the update. Is any third party app for HDMI CEC for audio passthrough.
Are you saying your TV has a dedicated hdmi audio out? ARC stands for Audio Return Channel and it's the technology that can send audio through the same hdmi cable that is carrying video from a different source. In other words, you can pass video and audio to the tv, or the tv can pass audio back to the other device as well. This prevents the need from a second connection to pass audio from the TV when the TV is independently displaying content
