The Galaxy Tab 7.7 can play DTS .mkv movies using DicePlayer or MX Player.
However, I don't know if it will be able to output 5.1 sound quality using a 5.1 headphones. Will it give you a surround sound effects using 5.1 headphones?
I am currently using a good quality earphone to watch DTS .mkv movies but I will consider getting a good 5.1 surround sound headphone if it actually produce the surround 5.1 effect.
....or does the Tab 7.7 will downsample the 5.1 DTS coding to stereo sound. If this is the case, then getting a 5.1 DTS surround sound headphone is pointless.
Any input reguarding this?
I've noticed you have the option to select 5.1 surround sound and I did notice a change in sound output when selected, however I don't have a 5.1 system to test it

Nobody try it out with a 5.1 surround sound headphone?
Well, at least for our tab that's wrong. To experience better surround sound when watching a movie, turn off Dolby mobile, seriously You'll feel the difference. And here's an app to pin point the difference https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasonfarrell.stereotest . Try it with Dolby mobile off and on.
Go on, test my theory, with the built in speakers, head phones or any other speaker system.
hei jodi' i notices some apps run better with the dolby switched off too plus i have equalizer installed. i think dolby mobile is pretty much like beats audio but it should be better......but it aint....then again some movies play better with it on..i dunno

I just got my A500 last night and it comes with the Hero of Sparta game that I tried. The game ran great but the sounds/music was kinda screwy and choppy, could Dolby Mobile be the cause?
Is the Netflix app on the NP supposed to have DD+ audio?
My np is not showing dd at all, not just netflix.... Even Google play movies arent playing in 5.1 :s
problem is...the nexus player is not as good at being a chromecast...as a chromecast. I still have my nexus player but im using my chromecast again to cast things...

I feel the same way. I've bought a bunch of Nexus devices over the years, but this one is a big disappointment, it's going back. I just need a simple box that does Netflix and XBMC well. Fire TV here I come -- on sale for $69 today.
I tried playing movies from the Google movie store and my AVR shows "Multi Ch. In" so it is PCM multi channel. Same for Plex. But not for the Netflix app.
XBMC side loaded can do DD and DTS bitstreaming but no sign of DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD bitstreaming. Not sure whether it's a hardware limitation, XBMC, HDCP fun, etc.
Anyone having this issue? It will play around 10-15 secs then it will prompt me this.. Only happening on 4K contents. The problem is I cannot uninstall Netflix as it was embedded on the shield. I already signout, restart the machine but still getting this.
Is the shield TV connected to a HDCP 2.2 compliant HDMI input on your TV?
Also, try another account. I used to have this problem a lot on the built-in Netflix app on my samsung TV, and for some reason changing from my kid's profile to mine playing the exact same thing would work.
I have never seen this on my Shield TV, unless my internet connection drops...
do you think hdmi rated 10.6gb is not enough?

I am not sure...
But 10.2Gb/s is hdmi 1.4 / HDCP 1.4...while HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 is 18Gbps.
Did you try the HDMI cable provided with the Shield? This is the one I use and have no problem.
And again, the input used on the TV has to be HDCP 2.2 compliant. On my Samsung TV (2014) for example, only HDMI 3 can do HDMI2.0+HDCP 2.2 (only 30hz), all other inputs are HDMI 2.0 (at 60hz) but non HDCP 2.2 compliant.
What TV brand / model do you have?

I'm sorry it's 10.2gb
Here's my dilemma.. YouTube on shield was set to 2160p played without any issue.. Not a single buffer. Very smooth
I checked the settings on shield it was set to 4K 30hz. Yes I'm using the provided hdmi from shield going to my 4K Sony receiver.
My tv is Vizio 4K 2015 model. At the back of the TV I have 4 HDMI. It was set to hdmi 1 which is 30hz. I tried swapping to HDMI 2 60hz but I'm getting the same problem.
Ill try uninstall updates on Netflix as soon as I get home and keep you posted. Or probably try rooting the hell out of the shield and sideload netflix from play store

Here's the deal...youtube doesn't care about content protection, so anyone with a 4k tv can stream 4k content from youtube. HDMI 1.4 will support 4k resolution at 30hz no problem, so no problem with youtube. Netflix however, cares. So streaming Netflix in 4k requires all your involved components (shield TV, receiver, TV) to be HDCP 2.2 compliant (HDCP = High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) + HDMI cables supporting the necessary bandwidth for 4k+HDCP2.2 (18Gbps).
4k receivers might have all HDMI inputs HDCP2.2 compliant, some have 1 only, some have none, all depending of how old and how much you paid for it.
If I were you, before uninstalling netflix updates and stuff, I would connect the shield TV directly to the TV (no receiver), and see if the problem persists. From what I read online, if you have a 2015 Vizio M series, only input 5 will do 4k+HDCP 2.2
"Only one HDMI input, Input 5, is compatible with both newfangled HDMI connection protocols, namely HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 copy protection. The former allows 4K frame rates up to 60Hz, the fastest currently available. The latter allows the TV to accept copy-protected 4K content over HDMI, from devices like the Sony FMP-X10 media player, the Nvidia Shield playing back certain copy-protected content such as Netflix 4K, and forthcoming 4K Blu-Ray content. 2015 4K TVs from Samsung, Sony and LG offer multiple so-equipped inputs.
The other four are version 1.4, meaning they can handle 1080p sources up to 60Hz and 4K sources up to 30Hz. Of those four, only two support HDCP 2.2."

I spent hours and hours reading about all that stuff...and this is a huge headache for consumers!!!! To get my system where I want it to be, I'd have to spend $400 on a "Samsung evolution kit" + another $500 on a receiver!! Just because of all that HDCP BS...
Thanks man.. What a good read. I'll try your recommendation for sure.
so i directly inserted the HDMI cable from TV to shield showed all "ultra HD" menu.. i just realized that my 4K sony receiver is not HDCP 2.2 supported. Damn!
definitely, my 4K vizio TV is HDCP 2.2 capable since i can play netflix ultra HD on it.
thanks..

Yep...As I said 4K is going to be a massive headache for consumers...Netflix, Amazon, 4k bluray players, STBs etc will all require HDCP2.2... Many people are going to buy those new 4k TVs, to soon realize that their receivers, soundbars and other peripherals won't be able to work anymore. It's really a pain considering how much a good receiver costs...
What makes it even more of a BS is that this whole thing is only about content protection and encryption of the video signal to avoid piracy...guess what, it's already been cracked. All the 4k content from Netflix is already available on torrents. Yet we have to spend extra $$$ on hardware for legitimate content we are already paying for. Anyways...
Glad I could help!
good thing i bought the receiver after Nov 1. which is qualified for holiday returns until Jan 15.
thanks again
4k on Shield Tv
Yes having the same problem, Netflix is saying it's the bitrate from the ISP, but have a Roku4 that streaming fine on the same network. Netflix is saying the ISP is singling out the Shield and capping it. Hmm
Hi guys,
I've had the 2nd gen FireTV for a few years now and only recently when I tried some HDR content, I found out it was not supported.
Enter the new 4k firestick with 1.5GB DD4 ram, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.
The Geekbench shows that the new 4K Firestick out performs both the Pendant stick and also the FireTV cube.
The FireTV 2nd gen is still faster but with the lack of HDR, its made me look else where.
4K Stick PRO's
Smooth 4K UHD playback
Dolby Atmos, Vision, HDR10 and HDR10+ supported
New remote now supports volume adjustment of your soundbar / TV / Amp
Faster than FireTV cube & Pendant
DD4 Ram
At £34.99/ $34.99 its an absolute steal!
4K Stick CONS
Alexa still needs more functionality
No Native Youtube app
You can see the full review including gaming, benchmarks, 4K playback here
Congratulations?
