KODI Videoplayer PASS THROUGH AUDIO

[dorol]

I will post my settings here in case it helps, 7.1 channel audio works for me in general with KODI 17 RC3:

I get no audio output at all with those settings.

Everything of course plays perfectly using wrapper.

I get the same result.
It does seem like Kodi is not able to use HDMI, even HDMI in RAW setting.
Strange that some users report it to be working and others don't.
My receiver is an anthem MRX 720, which plays almost any audio.

Same result here.
Denon x1200W, no audio in kodi.
Wrapper works like a charm.

Hello,

first many thanks to Futeko team for this work here in the forum.

I have the sam problem with the pass through Audio from Kodi.
My AVR shows, when pass through is on in Kodi, no Input signal.Pass trough off than I have 2.0ch PCM. Wrapper set to Kodi.
Wrapper set not to kodi Sound work.
I look in many forums and many have the same problem. With Himedia devices or other or with Android or Windows.
I not know where the problem is. Because with Kodi 16.1 it should work. First think is that Kodi 17 had a problem. But Andorid 7 is new and have chances in audio.

I hope that this problem will solved. Because like the Kodi player for video.

Himedia Pro 10, last Firmware, Android 7, Kodi 17
Onkyo TX-NR656

HiMedia are investigating the lack of HD-Audio passthrough in Kodi 17 native player.

Short term workaround is to downgrade to Kodi 16.1 or use wrapper with Kodi 17.

Hi,
is there any news about this? Yesterday I installed the final version of Kodi and I don't have any sound when using pass through. I had to reset everything to it's default and manually had to adjust the output on the receiver.  BTW, I have a Q10

Nothing. Were still waiting for real passthrough with android 7 and kodi and hdr bugfixing. Its nearly end of may.

We still need to use the wrapper for the time being.... (it works fine for full audio passthrough). 
There are other threads with Kodi audio work-arounds for use in streaming Kodi add-ons.
