“Pop-up” audio not playing on my 4K player

[rexcrk]

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but since it seems to only affect my 4K player, it seemed like the best place.

So when I say “pop-up” audio I mean things like picture-in-picture audio or even menu button audio.

Some examples of the picture-in-picture audio I tried that didn’t have any audio were the Animators’ Corner feature on all four Shrek movies, the Transformers HUD on the 2007 movie, the Labyrinth “Storytellers” feature, and the “Slimer mode” feature on Ghostbusters.

And the only menu button audio I can think of off the top of my head that I very distinctly remember being there that I’m not hearing on this player is from seasons 5 and 6 of The Office.

I use the LG UBK90 model ( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-stre...?skuId=6215814 ).

The weird thing is I can get that audio to play if I pop those discs in my PS4. Both it and the 4K player are connected to the same surround sound receiver.

I’m completely stumped here so if anyone has any thoughts on why this is happening I’d really appreciate it! It’s obviously not a huge deal but I’d still like to get this figured out.

Might be a combination of the format outputted and the secondary audio options. I think you may need to change the option from AUTO with the Digital Output option within the AUDIO menu.

Keep in mind that Atmos and DTSX cannot be passed when secondary audio is enabled. I have my Oppo player set on Auto, some discs output PCM to accommodate secondary audio and others just output the bitstream, depending on how they're authored. A lot of recent discs don't have any type of secondary audio, not even menu sounds (which I've always thought were cool and am disappointed to see gone) yet they're still authored to output as PCM, so you have to manually disable secondary audio if they have Atmos tracks.

That’s interesting. I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks

I find it better to just leave Secondary Audio off. Bitstream audio on. Dynamic Range Control off.



Dolby Atmos or DTS: X is more important to me than some clicks, buzzes, and PIP stuff, which are added few and far between.
