Hi Paolo,
Welcome to the community.
I'll see if I can find this out for you. Maybe someone else in the community can help in the meantime.
Thanks,
Pascale
If, as the nickname suggests, you are Italian you may find out a workaround for it waiting for a fix from Sony. The problem is only related to DTS audio tracks not to any 4K video.

Not only DTS also AC3 aka Dolby Digital better yet any video file with multichanel audio 5.1 or 7.1 DTS or Dolby Digital will cause Video app to stop playing any other video file and even stop TV from outputting sound even after you switch back to TV Speakers...

I use optical connection to my audio system...when I start watching a movie through Video app everything plays fine but as soon as I switch from TV speakers to Audio system to get DTS 5.1 or DD 5.1 video starts stuttering and then it stops and after that it wont play any video file multichanel or not...forcing me to restart my TV...
Anyway I hope Sony will come up with update soon to fix all this audio problems...

Thanks for the tip,I've been using VLC but it wont send multichanel audio to my speakers...
I'll give it a try as soon as I'm back home...
thanks Roob , though am not Itallian but i managed to traslate the thread , Sony needs to come up with a "bug"fix as its frastrating trying to enjoy good quality content
Hi @Paolo188 as suggested while Sony is working on a fix, try enjoying Archos Player that works flawlessy and has a UI far better than the stock app
