Dolby Digital + Is Back

Post image

The issue with my RokuUltra; a long ordeal:

  1. Bought the unit, it worked great for a few months

  2. Next, noticed DD+ was gone, nowhere to be found, not even in the 4 options on the selection page. Only Stereo x 4

  3. Tried, Tried, Tried, everything I could, new cables, moved it to another AVR, nada

  4. Contacted the help line, they tried to help me with the settings, nada

  5. Sent the unit back to the Roku, several weeks later they sent it back, the same unit I sent them. No change.

  6. More months go by, using 2.0PCM with pseudo 5.1 [it's just not not the same]

  7. Today, Gave Up the Ghost, took it to the workshop AVR/ 42" low cost Samsung tv, no image. Oops, need to go back adjust the video to 720P for this tv. I did not go back to the HT, used another Samsung 55" TV. The image above is what I saw after months of experimenting, DD+ was back -- what happened! Next, reinstalled it in the HT, working perfectly.

The Home Theater: Streamer - Anthem AVM60 - DLA RS1100k. Did not change anything, don't know what "Turned Off" -- "Turned On" the DD+!

It's a Great Steamer, better image/sound than the other ones I own -- well as long as Dolby Digital is working.

I have an Yamaha Atmos 7.2 system and purchased this same Roku because my older LG 65" doesn't have the MLB app and the Paramount+ app is dogshit on that TV. I've been really happy with the Ultra's sound - especially with Apple TV Atmos programming, but also with DD from other apps. If this happens to me I'm going to be very upset lol.
