We blame the firmware which in general is crap. Yes firmware is also software so in that regards you are right however don't blame kodi for following only the official implementation.

This thread is about the shortcomings of KODI, not the various platforms that it can run on.!!
IMHO you are quite wrong to blame the HW when it is clearly a SW issue

When DTS is passed through HDMI - the sound drops every 3-5 seconds and then comes back.
The problem is not there with Dolby Digital passthrough. It works just fine.
It works just fine if passthrough is disabled completely as well.
I have the problem on a TV box with an AmLogic S905 chip.
I also tried SPMC today and had the same results with IEC Passthrough. RAW Passthrough freezes the player interface and does not produce any sound whatsoever.

With my tv I hear a stuttering sound noise when I want to play dd5.1, pcm plays fine.
With the Netflix app on my tv I hear dolby digital 5.1 sound.
I used the quickstartguide to get the settings right: http://kodi.wiki/view/Audio_quickstart_guide
Can someone give me a tip how to solve this problem?
