AV Receiver HD-Audio Incompatibility List

[UHD]

Hi,
Yes, i have installed wrapper and the corresponding app says that it has been already installed and left with .xml extension. As Phil181 suggests can i try using the beta firmware or have to wait for official release? If so is there any date for the release.

There is an official firmware posted on this forum or you can download directly from...

I did install the latest firmware and to some extend the native player now pass through dtshdma and truehd 7.1 to my AV receiver Yamaha RX V673. But the AAC 5.1 tracks are still output as 2 channel stereo only!!!!!!!!!. Please also note that after firmware update there was freezing of the system and i had to reboot the Q10 Pro and found many apps not working. So i made a factory reset and then installed the Latest firmware again. Now that apps including Kodi,Chrome browser, youtube etc were not found i had to manually install them one by one from the playstore.
At the end DTS hd ma and truehd are working. But AAC 5.1 not working. Please any have any suggestion to overcome this issue?

Your setup is probably messed up from the piecemeal reset and reinstall.

Do a factory reset from Android menu Settings - More - Backup & Reset. Choose the wipe SD card option. Allow the factory reset to complete and the box to boot back up. This should wipe the box.

Now install latest firmware using reset button method.

Suggest trying some of the Kodi samples and re-check your audio:

I am surprised that you can pass-through DTS-HD MA 7.1 but not TrueHD?  Have you tried LCPM 7.1?
The latest firmware fixed my sound issues completely

I did a complete reset as described. But the same effect. Only hardware firmware updated. All the software like kodi, youtube, chrome etc were all gone. i have to re-install them all one by one . Anyway that does not matter. Still AAC 5.1 audio is output as 2 channel stereo only.

Is there anything more i have to do?

This is going off topic.

Never gave AAC 5.1 a go myself. Always use FLAC 5.1 for HQ audio or SACD with straight DSD output, this next to BD pure audio which works fine. My SQ audio is still all MP3.

I think you should report it formally as a feature request. Did not read anywhere that it was supported , only if it was then it is something missing and a bug. There are several flavors of AAC encapsulations so you will need to be precise both when asking and testing.

SACD support with DSD RAW output is regarded a bug as it was clearly advertised with support for it.

Excuse me. This is not off topic. This thread  discusses about AV receiver HD audio incompatibility. I am still using my MED600X3D and Yamaha RX-V673 where AAC 5.1, DTS HDMA, TRUEHD etc works like a charm. I have added HimediaQ10Pro mainly for 4K and all audio pass-through ability. Since it does not, i be-leave it to be a bug  and need help.

Whilst I agree AAC is not a codec I would ever use by choice (having no love for Apple), I did try the sample AAC 5.1 file from Kodi as part of my audio testing.
It does pass through from the Q10 Pro to my Yamaha AVR and plays in 5.1 (under latest firmware). 
The sample test file actually checks each speaker working individually (spoken channel identification) and then together:

Honestly to me the surround channel mapping clarity is very good with AAC 5.1 rather than dolby digital or DTS 5.1, since the signals are PCM audio like that of LCPM.
