Kodi Community Forum

Hi, i'm new on forum but use Kodi since Kodi 14.

Kodi developpers make awasome job.

I read a lot of posts on forum and search on web but i not realy have response for my case..

My config : W10 64 - Geforce Nvidia 730 (drivers updated) - HDMI to receiver Yamaha sound bar YHT-S401 - HDMI Out to TV.
Kodi 17 nightly build (08/1/2017). Same with 16.1 or 17 RC2.

Windows sound property config to 7.1



Kodi sound config with wasapi passtrough.




Sound is OK and Soundbar show DTS HD MA for a 5.1 Movie.

Movie info :

My question is : Why Kodi show 7.1 movie when played... (Batman - The Dark Knight Rises)
Why 8 bits when movie is 24 Bit depth



I' try to config all in 5.1 in Windows and Kodi but same result.

Sound is realy OK but i 'm asking why Kodi show 7.1...

If i use passtrough with Directsound HDMI, soundbar show PCM, sound is Ok too.
Kodi show 5.1





So, I do not notice any real difference in sound.

What do yu think ? Something bad configured ?

Thx. (sorry for my English)
