Could there also be some dithering by ignore some of the higher bit resolution in a 24 bit track? I've read some claim you won't get much(any) audible value past 18 bits or so.
Edit: I'm referencing the difference in the two non-Kodi pics.

I am using the koying 21st Jan build and enjoy it very much
Just read some discussion about the multi channel PCM and the pass through. I give it a try . And I found that the passthrough option give me a more "full", "surround" and "discrete" sound, I try to adjust the volume of PCM option , however no luck, my wife have the same feeling also. As discuss previously, the PCM should perform the same as pass through in term of human sensation, I am not sensitive to sound but the result is quite obvious, so I wonder if i have get some setting wrong, although it may be only a subjective feeling.
Here my setting:
AC3 6 channel movie
in Kodi
Number of channels:5.1
Output configuration:Best match
Normalize levels on downmix: disable
Enable passthrough:disable
Thx for all developer hard work , Kodi is the best player I have ever used

HD audio pass through works perfectly for me but I'm having trouble with audio sync for large mkv bluray files. Anyone have that problem too? Audio is always delayed by 1 to 3 seconds.

OK so i want to write once more!
When i install this version i only get sound when i turn on my yamaha 5.1 amp.
When the amp is off there is no sound comming from the TV anymore! With all other kodi i get normal sound from the tv even when the 5.1 amp is off.
Nvidia shield connected via hdmi to yamaha amp / yamaha amp connected via hdmi to tv.

Quite clear ... normal kodi does not support passthrough on the shield ... so you have PCM only.
So if you don't power on your AVR turn off passthrough - there is no auto detection.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Disable passthrough completely and just use plain PCM output and wait for nvidia's v6 firmware.
