HiI am trying your 7.95.beta6 (2017-02-11), the audio on movies and TV series only plays Dolby Prologic.
I cannot get digital audio, in the previous beta the digital audio formats played ok. I have a Tronsmart S95 Vega TelosThanks for all you work!!

do you have 'sync playback to display' enabled?
Is your device an S905 or an S905X?
S905X 16GB/2GB
I had that thought too, but I only own the S905X.
Can anyone comment on that who owns both S905 and S905X?No matter which settings I choose, I still have the following issues related to video playback on my S905X in Krypton:
- Consistent frame skips in 23.976p content.
- Very bad quality upscaling of SD and 720p videos.
- Screen "shakes" with black "flashes" when I skip forward or backward (30s, 10min etc.) in video.None of this is an issue in Jarvis.
I reported in detail back here:
thread-2156-post-29829.html#pid29829
I had exactly the same problems so went back to Jarvis. I believe the first issue is because of the re-write of the video player within kodi, the second one may be amlogic specific (since I changed from an Intel GPU system to the Amlogic system the upscaling has always looked worse on both jarvis and krypton for me), and the third may also be down to the re-write.
Since then I have noticed a few problems. Audio passthough doesnt work too well anymore (not that it was great before), it is always on PCM mode and not bitstreaming, set to HDMI out, passthrough enabled and receiver supporting all the formats. It also sometime passes audio that appears to be corrupt (random noise), enabling and disabling either passthrough or stereo down sampling (cant remember the option) in the audio options while the video is playing stops the corrupted sound.
You need to switch off 'sync playback to display' when using passthrough.

As mentioned by a few people here I also have got a issue with audio/video sync, about 200ms for 23/24p and 85ms for 30p. After searching around on the forum a few members have recommended creating and adding a few lines in advancedsettings.xml to tell Kodi to use 200ms for 23-25 and 85ms for global. Created the file and added the lines as instructed on the Kodi Wiki. After rebooting the box these settings not come into effect.
Checking the Kodi logs I can see that Kodi does read the file (as it shows all the commends from advancedsettings.xml in the log) but does not act on it...."

Having done a few tests I think you are correct, it no longer seems to be making any changes to the audio delay.

I initially tested my audio sync with no passthrough using a few audio sync videos ripped from youtube. I used a global delay of 85ms because depending on the audio used some of my non 24p videos were out of sync and some weren't, so that was the compromise I found. I have always had an audio sync problem with 24p content on kodi and before that xbmc (as does many people if you search the kodi forums).
When using passthrough I had to add a further 125ms delay on my AV Receiver (Denon AVR-X520BT) to keep it in sync.
The advanced settings file works fine for me in this build.
P.S. If you used the audio delay slider within kodi to find out the delay needed on a video, don't forget to set it back to zero 
After a longer use, I noticed that I have audio sync issues. Not major and they can be fixed from the Audio Offset option, but annoying nonetheless.S905 Mini M8S connected to a Yamaha AVR.
The Sync function in Playback is enabled. So are the DTS Passthrough and refresh rate change.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I use a 200ms delay for 23.976 videos and an 85ms delay for all others set in advancedsettings.xml
Upgraded to this version on nexbox (s905x, 2gb, 16gb) to internal and working great. I had to use advancedsettings.xml to fix some audio sync issues (85ms delay globally and 200ms delay for 23.976), but apart from that it's all good!
Thanks for all your work kszaq!
