Hi
I'm using a usb hard drive that contain mkv files.
In some files i'm getting a message that the audio is not supported and the movie run without sound.
There is no problem with my mu8000 TV using the same usb hard drive and the same movie files.
Any ideas ?

Hi Andrew
As I wrote, the sound issue isn't with the mu8000, but with the nu7120 (43") TV

Are they playing DTS as this years Samsung TVs no longer support DTS, only Dolby Digital so if it is DTS you will get that error. Also even if you have a HDMI soundbar or avoid receiver it will not pass through bitstream either. The onlyvway round is to use a media player or play through your bluray player.
Considering these are supposed to be premium TVs to remove the DTS support is a real backwards step.

Many apologies Shlomi, not sure how I missed that one. Having checked the audio codecs of the NU7120 I can see immediately that DTS (Core, LBR, HD_MA, HD_HRA,) is not present in the supported audio codecs list. This leads me to believe that the affected files feature this audio and that's why they work on your MU8000 but not the NU7120.
Like I said it is unbelievable that Samsung have stopped supporting DTS on all of their 2018 TVs. Another reason to go elsewhere. All the major manufacters do support dts. Now if you want to play any DTS media you need a media player.

All you need to do is convert the .mkv file to something extension which is supportable by the TV>
for example, this one
