Sony Android TV Passthrough not working for anything

Hey all,

I’ve been on this for a few hours now… I’ve followed the other threads that mention a Sony firmware issue causing Kodi to have DTS passthrough problems.. however, I think that is different than what I am experiencing.

I did the recommended settings as follows:

Sync with TV: On
Passthrough: On
AC3 capable receiver: On
AC3 transcoding: On

The rest of the passthrough options are off.

With the above settings, I get no sound. The receiver shows that it is getting Stereo PCM Digital audio, but no sound.

When I turn passthrough off, I get sound. Receiver shows it as stereo PCM Digital audio. No surround.

I’m using optical audio (SPDIF) to go from the 75X900E to my Denon AVR-E300

I’ve tried sync with display off, same issue.

I’ve tried messing with the TV settings -> sounds -> Digital Audio Out
Currently it is Auto1. I’ve tried PCM Only, same issue.

In action menu -> sound adjustments. Everything is on standard, I changed Dolby Digital Plus output to Dolby Digital (from Dolby Digital Plus) but same issue with both.

It seems that every time I can get it to actually pass something through, there is no sound, and it still says PCM on the receiver. Any ideas?

Thanks for all the help

EDIT:

Log:log

I didn’t do the full restart after enabling debug logging, let me know if that will help.

In the log, i played the file with passthrough enabled, AC3 enabled and AC3 transcode enabled. No sound.

I also found this in the log regarding the file I’m playing:
