Formuler Z11 Pro Max Quick Start Video

Check your messages.

I did check on the wifeā€™s Z11 and atmos is producing sound. It runs through a Samsung TV not an audio system. Hereā€™s the audio setting on it, I canā€™t remember if I had to change it or not when I set this box up months ago :thinking:

Thatā€™s exactly what mine is set on still not working, going on 4 days now and it just wonā€™t decode Atmos. Iā€™ve tried everything I know searched forums changed inputs etc. My Firecube works great with all the same equipment and settings. Such a nice box I hate to return it but itā€™s looking like I have to, itā€™s not working well with my VPNā€™s either, getting throttled down to 50 mbs on my gig network on wi-fi and Ethernet.
Papa I really appreciate your input and help.
Thank you

Thatā€™s a real head scratcher, my wifeā€™s is on WiFi and gets about 280 up and down with Express VPN and has no stability issues. The no audio is odd too, maybe it is a faulty box. :person_shrugging: Good luck

I agree possible faulty box, I just reconnected the cube and did a speed test getting 350+ and 80+ on the VPN (Surfshark)over 800+ off. The Atmos thing is really puzzling it just wouldnā€™t decode it. Going to return it tomorrow, sad I really had high hopes for this box.

I donā€™t believe Formuler has Dolby Atmos.
The box should still have sound - try installing VLC and use that to play the media from Kodi

Maybe this will help you with your issue,

This tut may help,

Hi Mike thanks for the response, my Kodi settings are exactly the same as my Firecube which works fine with Atmos. I am getting sound just not Atmos. Iā€™ve been thru multiple forums and websites and it seems Iā€™m not the only one having this issue, the worst issue Iā€™m having is box just wonā€™t work well with my VPNā€™s. I have gig speed internet, the cube is getting over 350 mbs with the VPN on the Z11 about 50 on LAN and wi-fi which makes Kodi useless (just buffers).
I appreciate all the help but I think I have a defective box so Iā€™m going to return it.

Have you activated Surround Sound on Z11 Pro along with Audio Passthrough? No atmos without the Surround Sound enabled apparently.

I have, spent 4 days on this, tried every setting imaginable. I didnā€™t even try the mytv3 because of the issues with Atmos and the VPN.
Iā€™ve set up numerous android boxes never had the problems Iā€™ve had here. Really wanted this box to replace my cube but it ran circles around the Z11 pro. Thatā€™s why I think I got defective box, Iā€™m sure the Z11pro is a better box if itā€™s working correctly.

My Formuler Z11 Pro Max has Dolby Atmos. Itā€™s one of the earliest released, have had for about two years now and love it! Hereā€™s two shots of my screen, first is home screen and second is Advanced sound settings.
I hope this clears up the confusion!


I just realized that you are talking about the Z11 Pro! Maybe you need the Formuler Z11 Pro Max. Iā€™m really not that familiar with the Z11 Pro.
All Iā€™ve ever owned are the Z10 Pro Max and the Z11 Pro Max. Having said that I canā€™t hardly wait for the Formuler Z12 Pro Max and no problem paying a little extra for the BT Remote. About four months ago got the BT Remote for the the Z11 Pro Max and love it. Also the new update is phenomenal! Now setting up IPTV services takes half of the time!
With the Z10 Pro Max your channel setup would appear in the order installed and you could not correct without starting all over again. The Z11 Pro Max is superior to the Z10.

Thanks for the reply, it was a Z11 Pro Max and the settings you posted were the exactly the same. Between the Atmos and VPN issues this box gave me fits, I loved everything else about it but it just wouldnā€™t do what it was supposed to. I may consider buying another one in the future.

The Formuler Z11 Pro Max can get a little temperamental at times, I must admit. But unplugging the power supply for 2 or 3 minutes will usually straighten it out. I use IPVanish and had very little problems ever!
Now for Dolby Atmos, thatā€™s been a big pain in the butt! All kind of settings to set. I have an LG TV with sound bar My tv sound out settings at HDMI(HIGH DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE) ARC(Audio Return Channel) and Digital Sound Out set to auto. The sound bar set for surround sound with all the auto turn-ons set to on and yes itā€™s a top firing Atmos sound bar. The biggest issue being that most streaming service donā€™t have the coding for Dolby Atmos. I get most Atmos on Stremio. 4k Blue Rays with Dolby Atmos are a great way to test your system. Also my sound bar will tell when Atmos is being decoded. I hope this can help at least in some wayā€¦Good Luck and maybe somebody in this group is better aquatinted with Atmos. It took me over 6 months to figure it out and running. Not to mention an occasional hiccup that makes me pull a few of my last remaining hairs outā€¦lol

Hi im setting up Pro max z11 right now . Im pushing the ok on remote to select english on the tv screen and the red light is on when clicking on ok. Nothing is happening so its not selecting the english to go the next step

Please help?

Hi i figured it out. I plugged in remote extension and i didnā€™t need it. I thought you needed it for the box to work

With IR remote - you need to point at the device.
The IR remote extension is for when you want to hide your device behind your tv - so with the extension connected, you need to point remote to the extension

With a BT remote you do not need to point at the paired device

Not sure what you are referring to but to bring up the guide just push the guide button and all channels with info appear.

is this the app on formuler that records iptv?

Mytvonline 3 download - APKs (Android Apps) - TROYPOINT Insider

The Z11 pro series is the only device with MYTVOnline 3 app, recording feature ( older MYTVOnline 2 has same features)

How to use

The download link is supposed to be a cracked version - didnā€™t work for me on Nokia 8000 Android 12 box.
