No DTS-HD and True-HD options/PT in Kodi

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

Apologies for my previous post which inadvertently violated forum rules Angel I cleaned up the system and hope now it’s all within the rules! Sorry again Angel

Refreshed my system and updated Kodi.
Ubuntu 16.04.1, mainline Kernel 4.6.7
Kodi 17 RC, running on Zotac AD12, connected to Samsung Home Theatre via HDMI

Problem:
I can’t select DTS-HD and True-HD passthrough in Kodi, the options are just not there.
When playing videos general PT for DTS works but True-HD PT and DTS-HD PT doesn’t work.
(It worked with Jarvis on 15.10 before, on in my opinion similar set-up.)

Detailed information here:

In Kodi I can see 4 Audio Devices:

  1. HDMI Default
  2. HDMI @@@ <— using this one at the moment
  3. ALC892 Analog
  4. ALC892 Digital S/PDIF

In the Passthrough section I can only see HDMI@@@ and ALC892 Digital S/PDIF.
When I select HDMI@@@ there is no DTS-HD and True-HD option available.

Update: I tried the hack fritsch proposed in a different post: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=…pid2148505
This put the options back into Kodi Audio settings, the whole system didn’t play a single sound though. All muted or no sound, couldn’t see any error. Guess the hack wasn’t quite the right way for my systems here.

Your help to fix my system is much apprecitated!
