Do you know What Audio Formats Does HDMI Support?
Any device with HDMI must support the minimum standard of uncompressed stereo LPCM audio.
Any other formats are optional – so the actual audio types available to you will be limited by the hardware you are using.
The HDMI specification allows for 8-channels of compressed and uncompressed audio at 1-bit, 16-bit, 20-bit and 24-bit – at sample rates of 32kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz.
Support for 32-channels of audio was introduced in HDMI 2.0.
In practice, that means that you will have access to all of the popular modern audio formats.
HDMI supports all the common stereo and multichannel audio formats for modern TV, movie and music content:
- LPCM (2-ch to 8-ch)
- Dolby Digital
- Dolby Digital Plus
- Dolby TrueHD (since version 1.3)
- Dolby Atmos
- DTS
- DTS-ES
- DTS 96/24
- DTS Express
- DTS-HD High Resolution
- DTS-HD Master Audio (since version 1.3)
- DTS:X
- DVD-A (since version 1.1)
- DSD (since version 1.2)
Many other audio formats, such as FLAC, ALAC, and WAV, will also be available if supported by your hardware.
If you need something specific, you should check that device’s documentation. It won’t be HDMI limiting you; it will be the design of your device.
All HDMI cable types will transfer all the audio formats within the specification.
