Hi all,
Hardware: MINUX U9-H
LibreELEC: adamg's LibreELEC 9.0 Alpha for Amlogic S905/S912 devices, version 8.90.3 (same behavior also in kszaq's LibreELEC 8.2 for S912, version 8.2.2.3)
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V681
I'm having some trouble with multichannel PCM output from Kodi to my Yamaha receiver. I have a 7.1 system, and Kodi audio is set to 7.1 with "Best Match". When I try to play any multichannel movie with an audio track that can't be bitstreamed (FLAC or Opus), my receiver gets 8 channels of PCM at only 32khz. I'm concerned that I'm losing significant fidelity due to this issue.

I'm attaching a full debug log from playing a video with 5.1 Opus audio, but here is an excerpt showing that the audio stream created is 48khz:

02:41:53.419 T:4081054544 DEBUG: Channel Layout: FL, FR, LFE, FC, BL, BR, UNKNOWN1, UNKNOWN1There is no indication from Kodi that it's sending 32khz. Is my receiver lying to me about what it's receiving? Or is there some way I can prevent LibreELEC from choosing 32khz as the output sample rate?
Any leads or directions to check in would be most appreciated. Thanks!
