Simple question: A movie is being transmitted via the hdmi port of a tv from a device like laptop/computer/mobile . Which device does the audio decoding ?
Will it always be the device sending the movie (laptop etc) that will decode the audio and then send it to HDMI ?
Can it be the TV that does the audio decoding ? ; Depending upon on the capabilities and features of the TV and device sending the movie.
My specific case:
Device playing movie: Computer/mobile
Transferred to TV HDMI via a wifi HDMI streaming stick. (that does NOT do audio decoding)
