That run ended in 2022, bar a hot-fix update last year. There’s good news, though, as NVIDIA has just issued a hefty update for its Android TV devices.Android Headlines spotted the availability of the Shield Experience 9.2 update today, and it brings several features worth knowing. The most notable addition is support for the AURO-3D audio format via a compatible decoder, although this is limited to the Pro model. Other additions include support for the Match audio content resolution feature via USB DAC, a “security enhancement” for 4K DRM playback, and French parental controls.The new Shield TV update also offers many bug fixes. This includes fixes for choppy playback after rewinding or fast-forwarding, audio stutter with aptX-enabled audio products, the Shield drive filling up, and crashes when changing volume.Unfortunately, the update also removes the Shield TV from Google Home integration. You can view the full changelog below.Either way, we’re glad to see NVIDIA finally bringing a major update to the Shield TV series after all this time. With the exception of hot-fix updates last year, the last major upgrade for these Android TV boxes was 2022’s Shield Experience 9.1.1 update.
