Hello,
Is Kodi (16 or 17) able to decode Dolby truehd and DTS HD-MA and output as LPCM ?
I'm asking this as my Harman AVR only shows "Multi channel input" with no information if signal decoded from the loosless HD audio stream or the core lousy DD or DTS stream.
I have issues with my Harman in HD audio passthrough on qnap (garbled sound) and i'm looking to decoding it internally in Kodi.
Also do i need to select 7.1 to get HD audio decoding or i can select 5.1 to match my speakers ?
Thanks.
Thanks for the link. My issue is that i can't know if the multi channel LPCM signal sent to my AVR is decoded from (DD trueHD or DTS-HD) or (core DD or DTS) as my AVR displays only multi channel input on all cases.
I noticed also in audio options there is option "support 8 channel DTS-HD audio decoding" and no option for DD TrueHD decoding, does this mean Kodi can only decode DTS-HD but no DD TrueHD ?
Thanks
We decode: Dolby Digital, Dolby-TrueHD, Dolby DTS, DTS-HD - We currently don't decode 7.1 EAC3.
The DTS-HD option is gone with v17, cause it confused users. It was there cause of possible performance issue on certain platforms. Also it made sense when users output 2 channel stereo - no need to decode 7.1 if 5.1 is sufficient.
Thanks Fritsch for the clear answer. I have 3 more questions to get the audio part in my setup :
1- How i can know that Kodi is decoding the HD version and not falling back to the core DD or DTS version. I have no way to tell this from AVR side as it just display "multi-channel input" without even showing number of decoded channels.
2- Nubmer of channels should match my 5.1 setup or 7.1 as i read on some forums to allow HD audio decoding
3- output configuration should be optimized or best match for 5.1 setup and internal decoding in Kodi
Thanks for your support

1. If the source audio is HD Kodi will decode HD.
2. As written in the Kodi wiki : "This is the number of PCM channels that the audio connection supports and not the number of speakers connected". So if your AVR supports 7.1 then set that.
3. I would say Best Match but it shouldn't hurt to set Optimized.
As you ask those questions I assume you don't hear it, right? :-)
how do i delete this post?
