There have actually been several threads about this on the forum but the best source of information is ... Well.. the source: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=289735
Changes in Kodi 17 were made that make surround sound in Android 5.1.1 impossible. And for this to work in Android 7, Himedia needs to change the audio sdk, which they haven't as yet.

I know there are many forums where we talk about this, but the truth remains
that  kodi  does not work dolby true hd atmos 7.1. Very scandalous, since
Most of people  who buy a box android do it for kodi. Then this bug
is Very important, if you think that even the little xplayer will read it.

What KODI version has 1.1.0 fw preinstalled, the 16.1 or 17?!

As far as I know there wasn't even theoretical HD audio support in KODI 16.1 anyways...

(OK, I know that it won't change anything and that 17 has -theoretical- HD audio -and it both won't work with Himedia- , but take this as a question to fix my confusion...)
