Hi guys ,

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=282593
Just I don't use openbox , I ve made a script with systemctl to start kodi as a service and autologin with the user kodi.
When I log with my default user on ubuntu I ve sound and when I launch kodi , I ve sound too (but not passtrough through the option of kodi , weird , but it s another problem)
Do u have an idea why no sound when autostart ?
thank u very much for your helo

If you would have read the complete page you would have seen that EAC3, AC3, DTS is possible with pulseaudio, too.

yep , but when I let pulsaudio enabled , no sound in kodi
So i must autospawn = no in .config/pulse/client.conf
I think it s caused my kodi autostart directly

Hi
It's close of my issue, so I ask here.
I'm running under Kodi 17 with Ubuntu 16.04.
Do you have any idea how to configure my pulseaudio to have passthrought sound available under Kodi ?
When I disable pulseaudio, I have the passthrought tab available but no sound under Kodi.
When I enable pulseaudio, I have the sound but the passthrought tab in Kodi is empty :/
Thank you in advance for your help
