Android Awful sound on Pass through.
#1
Hi all.

I have the amazon fire tv. It is hooked up to my Sony bravia tv via hdmi which I purchased yesterday. I have never had this issue on my old LG tv.

If I disable pass through it plays pcm. If I enable pass through it plays this horrendous really fast clicking noise.

Here's the strange part. I have a sound bar hooked up to my tv via optical audio.

My xbox one plays blu rays with the same set up and the sound bar displays dts.

If I enable dts on kodi it outputs this awful noise.

All my content on kodi is dolby digital, even if I set pass through to dolby digital only it plays this horrendous noise.

According to my manual the tv supports dolby digital but not dts which is odd as it outputs dts to the sound bar With xbox one.

Anyways what would cause the amazon fire with kodi not to output the dolby digital and instead this horrendous noise?

Many thanks!

Had this same issue but with Kodi running on a NUC running ubuntu going to a Toshiba TV and a 5.1 Vizio sound bar.

Just make sure the volume is all the way down on the TV and you only have the volume up on your 5.1 system. No more clicking noise.
