HD Audio with Amazon Fire TV? - RVD26 - 2017-04-11
Is it possible to get HD audio (Doldy TrueHD or DTS-MA) on the Amazon Fire TV (2nd gen) with Kodi 17.1?
If not, can SPMC handle it?

I dont know for sure but i believe it will not passthrough. Last i knew only the Shield did but i think i read some other devices do now. If it does i have never gotten it to on my system.

Hint - go into System Info page when using Kodi and jot down the Android API level the FireTV2 is using.
Then cross reference that number with what is written in this post:

Short answer No - Both Krypton and SPMC.
However I do believe you can decode HD Audio to Lossless Multichannel PCM Audio and output that.

Which "shitty" Kodi build is recommended for DTS and 4K video playback on AFTV 2?
RE: HD Audio with Amazon Fire TV? - fritsch - 2017-09-23
No shitty build is ever recommended!

I understand, but getting past that, which one is known to work as best as it can on AFTV 2 ?
RE: HD Audio with Amazon Fire TV? - fritsch - 2017-09-23
Latest... they are all the same.
RE: HD Audio with Amazon Fire TV? - sirmedia - 2017-09-23
Yes but there are different flavors that I don't understand: shitty, notsoshitty, dtsshitty, etc. Not sure which flavor is the least shitty for AFTV 2.
RE: HD Audio with Amazon Fire TV? - fritsch - 2017-09-23
plain shitty others were for testing only
RE: HD Audio with Amazon Fire TV? - sirmedia - 2017-09-24
Man this is confusing. AFTV 2nd gen box is 64-bit, but there are no "shitty" builds under android/arm64-v8a
Are we not supposed to install arm64-v8a on AFTV2? Or is that box not so shitty compared to AFTV1?
RE: HD Audio with Amazon Fire TV? - fritsch - 2017-09-24
Use the 32 bit build. 64 is useless as the box is too slow doing sw decoding anyways.
