Hello, I have been searching the forums and googling for some hours now with no result to my issue, similar but not the same so I decided to post this.
If I have overlooked a solution I apologise beforehand.
I have a Mac mini and a marantz receiver with HDMI 1.4a compatible. It can do 7.1 but I set it up to 5.1 in Mac OSX settings cause thats what its running
The output Kodi gives me is always multichannel instead of DTS or DD5.1. According to guides:
and the 3rd: HDMI-default, whatever of the 2 HDMI I choose the problem persists.
I have installed PLEX and plex plays everything I throw at it correctly: My receiver says dd5.1 or dts so im sure nothing is screwed up in my system settings
and my hardware can support it. Same goes for VLC.
I do prefer the picture quality of Kodi, but this is a bummer, why is it so resilient just passing the audio through ? Can I do anything else ?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and maybe help me out.

- I have selected 5.1
- I have ( after some gruesome skin switching ) enabled expert mode and told Kodi I have a DTS, DD5.1 receiver and enabled pass through
- I have checked if the video/picture sync option is on... it was off.
