The first version of the Nvidia Shield TV was launched in May 2015. Nearly 10 years later, the Android TV box continues to be updated by the company behind the RTX 5080, making it one of the longest-lived Android products on the market. Samsung and Google can go get dressed again with their 7 years of smartphone updates.
What does the Nvidia Shield TV update 9.2 bring?
The update note opens with the addition of support for a new audio technology called Auro3D. In order for you to be equipped with an Auro3D decoder, the Nvidia Shield TV Pro is now able to handle this format.
The update also includes the following improvements:
- Added support for the Match audio content resolution function when using a USB DAC
- Added the ability to clear the HDMI 1.4 flag via factory reset
- Improved the frame rate matching function (beta)
- Added parental controls in French
- Improved security for 4K DRM playback
The update does not only bring good news, since once installed, the Shield TV “will no longer be integrated with Google Home after installing SHIELD Experience 9.2.” Nvidia invites you to “Visit support […] to reconfigure”. A simple reinstall should fix the problem.
A number of bugs have also been fixed:
- choppy video playback after FFWD/RWD operations.
- remote control unresponsive for 60 seconds after sleep.
- SHIELD waking up from the lock screen without pressing a button.
- issue with transferring large files to a NAS (unauthorized operation error)
- Google signature stream stuck in a loop
- stuttering in Bose and Sony headphones when connected to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
- audio stuttering in headphones supporting aptX audio

- Geforce NOW crashes after launch
- Video distortion in “RGB 8-bit Rec.709” display mode.
- HDD/USB flash drive corruption after hot plugging
- NAS folder information showing 0 B and not the actual capacity
- Mounted storages not listed after update
- Occasional crashes in DRM apps

The update seems to have already been deployed this Thursday, February 6, 2025. We were able to see its arrival on an Nvidia Shield TV Pro.
