Issue with HD sound in Kodi 17

Hi there,

Just updated to LibreELEC v8.0.0 (Kodi 17) and using a GeForce GT 220 as the Audio/Video device. This is reported by lspci:

Code:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220] (rev a2)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GT216 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)

and this is from aplay:

Now, I’m having a peculiar problem. This is what listed in the System Settings > Audio > Output Device

Pioneer VSX-924 is the A/V Receiver, FYI. Now in the Audio Passthrough section, if I select HDMI #1, I only see the DD and DTS capable receiver options:

and I donlt get any HD sound at all.

if I select HDMI #0 instead, I get all other HD options:

but I donlt get any sound at all, including the navigation and standard DD/DTS.

What am I missing? I can provided the logs, if I know what logs I need to provide (rathere giving bunch of logs at random). Can anyone shade some light on it?
