I noticed that Roku finally added hbo max and updated my hbo+ app

I’m using a metra 3 year old downmixer for the audio to my whole house Audio matrix. The audio on hbo max is very garbled/static.  But not the other apps (except vudu). I went into the Roku audio settings and set it to stereo (from DD/DTS bitstream or auto) and that fixes it but I’d prefer to leave it on bitstream for my HT, which is why I have the Metra in the first place.

I reached out to Brent and he hasn’t heard of this yet.  I’m guessing it’s something to do with Hbo max.  I have a friend who is using a different brand of down mixer and having the same issue. Just started when Roku updated hbo+ to max within the last 2 weeks.


Just wanting to see if anyone else has seen this or has any thoughts.
