Hello,
I've been searching the forums and internet on this issue for a while, but haven't found any solution. Whenever I play/stream any video files from Kodi with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding, no audio is produced and it renders the whole system audioless - even after killing the kodi app and re-try playing/streaming files with 2.0 audio channel files. I always have to do a hard reset (pull the plug on my android tv box) and find/play non-5.1 files to hear audio again. Has anyone experienced this before? Appreciate your help in advance.
Here's my setup:
OTT M8 Android box: 4.4.2 - K200
Kodi 15.2 Installed
Samsung Sound Bar (HW-J550 2.1 Channel) setup with digital optical connection (Audio Processing for the sound bar is DTS 2 Ch, and Dolby Digital 2 Channel.)
Configuration: Within Kodi, I have tried with and without "Enable Passthrough, and still no luck"

Please let me know if you need anything else, thank you!
