Sound and audio tracks · Nvidia Shield

For Nvidia Shield, check the selected output and the source’s available audio tracks before changing the account. Device output, player settings and source audio are separate checks.

Sound and audio tracks on Nvidia Shield

A silent stream can be a track or decoding issue even when video plays. The result can also change when a soundbar, HDMI receiver or Bluetooth device is selected.

Device decoding capability does not establish the resolution or audio tracks by a channel.

Check the NVIDIA SHIELD setup

Platform to identify: Android TV on the SHIELD model
Controls used in this guide: The shield remote or connected controller
Keep privately: A player-supported export and the account login format

Check the particular player in SHIELD app settings and record any decoder setting you change.

NVIDIA SHIELD checklist for sound and audio tracks

Identify the stage
Check mute and volume on the player and the actual output equipment. Compare another known source on the same device.
Use the NVIDIA SHIELD route
Review the SHIELD output, HDMI chain and player audio mode. Compare the same source after changing one supported output setting.
Compare one useful result
Try an available alternate track. If the player and device support a stereo comparison, record the previous setting and compare one change.
Confirm the outcome
You know whether sound fails on one source, one output path, or across the player.

A detour to avoid for sound and audio tracks

Do not assume that selecting surround output creates a surround track. Changing a channel logo or subscription duration does not change audio support.
