Audio passthrough not working / Odroid C2

  • Hello, I have issues with the audio passthrough, It does not work for me. I have made a forum thread at kodi forum, and they sent me here.


    Hardware:

    Odroid C2 with Libreelec 8.0.2 (Kodi 17.3 Git 147cec4)

    LG OLED65B6V
    Denon AVR-2113

    The TV is connected to the HDMI out and the Odroid C2 to one of the HDMI in ports in the AVR.


    Here is the debug log when I try to play a movie vith DTS sound. I know that the movie that I am playing is working properly. I have read alot on forums and I have disabled "sync playback to display"

    Ubuntu Pastebin


    Here is the thread on kodi forum:

    Please ask on libreelec forum. They hack up a tunneled AML specific sink output. This is not kodi's code - but a broken AESinkALSA implementation.


    Btw. the other dts message that were cited above have ZERO to do with audio, those are from the video decoder and mention its decoding time stamps."


    Thanks for any help

    Regards

  • This is now solved, after a lot of troubleshooting I found that the problem was one of the HDMI out ports on the Reciver that was broken, it refused to play surround. When I tried another outpout it works great!
