I've been able to play back audio, but everything plays back as LPCM 2.0/48kHz.  I have my Shield connected via HDMI to a Sony Sound Bar which supports multiple bit depth/sampling rate combinations.

Majority of my audio is FLAC, some DSD, many multi-channel of various bit depths and sampling rates.

What's actually supported at this point?  Or is this some limitation of the Shield?

Can someone from JRiver confirm which audio formats are (currently) supported and at what sampling rates & bit depths?

I'm not the last word on this, but I believe it uses exoplayer for playback now.

Make sure you're running 26.0.21 or above.

[TheShoe]

Thanks Jim.   perhaps audio is not using ExoPlayer then.

i will do some additional testing, but all my audio always outputs as 48 kHz stereo.  Largely flac.

but all my audio always outputs as 48 kHz stereo.

How can you tell?

ExoPlayer would only be used if the tracks were being played on the device, and JRiver for Android 26.0.21 doesn't show the Sample Rate being played, unless I am missing something. JRemote2 shows the format, Bit Depth, and Sample Rate of a track being played, and also uses ExoPlayer. For me, a 24/96 track plays in that format correctly on JRemote2.

my Shield is connected via HDMI to a receiver (Sony sound bar in this case) that supports up to 192/24 bit audio.

it will display what it receives.

Ah yes I also have this limitation.
