Hello,

In order to activate the AC3/DTS passthrough through HDMI,
it's done by going to the menu system -> audio -> enable passthrough.

But I've got to go though those menus each time i want to :
- enable the sound through my amplifier;
- each time i want to turn off the amplifier in order to have the sound on the tv
(hint: mkv files with ac3 sound with the passthrough option enabled
don't have any sound on the tv when the amplifier is turned off.)

Is it possible to make a shortcut on the homepage of kodi,
or in the KORE mobile application in order to enable/disable the passthrough
without having to go through all the menus each time please ?
I have shortcuts on my home screen and on my remote set to exactly that.
You could presumably do the same in KORE by adding a shortcut to favourites.
There are various threads / options...
I use Audio profiles switcher.
