Hello,
In the passtrough settings I only see the AC3, E-AC3 and DTS, how does it go when I read TrueHD and DTS-HD?

It would be helpful if you listed your hardware - HTPC specs & AVR make and model #'s and if they are connected via HDMI
-
Reading the specs for the HW-Q60R, there is no mention of support for TrueHD or DTS-HD

HD sound pass-through is not supported by LE on RPi (was already mentioned in another thread). You need more processing speed to pass-through that much data, it's not just "copy and paste".

Really? I thought it did do it.
Isn't it more work to process the audio?

Really?
Yes, read here.

So if I have a track with TrueHD, will it send me the AC3 in 5.1 if I check compatible AV receiver AC3?
Same for DTS-HD?

Thanks for the link - now I know when I finally replace the Pi in a few years, to be even pickier.

I don't think so. Non of the devices on the transmission chain will do a conversion to a lower audio format.

PS: If one device on the transmission chain can't do pass-through for an (HD) audio format, then audio is simply lost at this point.

So will it send me PCM 2.0 if I read TrueHD, even if my support is AC3 compatible?

IF RPi input: HD sound
THEN RPi output: nothing
Keep in mind that A/V has to stay in-sync when pass-through a device. Merging all the data needs compatible hardware.

So on a movie in TrueHD and DTS, how do I have to configure the Pi to get the AC3 of TrueHD, and the DTS of DTS-HD?

Audio quickstart guide - Official Kodi Wiki
Use TV (AC3) and add DTS.

You believe the simple format is hidden in the HD format, because parts of the format names are identical, right?
I think those formats are completely independent, and the RPi can't "downsample" an HD format.
