Description:
When a video with an audio codec being FLAC, and when the video is transcoded (due to a lower set bitrate by the client),
there is no audio output in the client.
This does not happen if:
The video is direct play
The original audio codec of the video is not FLAC, e.g. an AAC video can be transcoded while keeping audio working
Web client does not have the same issue, only Windows client so far shows the issue
To Reproduce
Play a video with original audio codec being FLAC under Windows Jellyfin client 1.9.0 x64 on Windows 11.
Make sure there is audio to begin with.
Try to lower the bit rate such that it must transcode the video.
No audio is heard from the video when watching the video with transcoding.
Expected behavior
The audio of the video should work with video transcoding in the Windows Jellyfin client.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
OS: Windows 11 x64
Version 22621.1555, 2H22
Installation Method : windows installer using client downloaded from official Jellyfin github
Client version is 1.9.0 x64
Additional context
I also tried different settings in the Client setting --> Audio, changing device type and device did not do anything to solve this problem.

I removed flac from allowed codecs for video transcoding. Let me know if there are still issues. Honestly even if we could direct stream flac while transcoding, since the main reason to transcode is to reduce bitrate, that seems silly.

Thanks for the follow-up, it sounds like this change mostly just avoid the problem? Was there any reason transcoding flac will disable audio (just for Windows client)?
