Hi, I have recently upgraded to NUC NUC7i3BNHX1 and I have a problem with passthrough of any audio format while streaming, everything shows up as PCM on my receiver.
I have enabled passthrough, disabled sync with video, tried different seetings, but it all shows as PCM.
What is weird, playing outside of kodi locally on NUC looks fine (DTS, dolby etc). Also Playing same files from kodi locally works well, only streaming seems to be passed as PCM.
Any ideas what could be an issue?
How many channels do you have set in settings>system>audio Audio quickstart guide (wiki)
I compared all the options in quickstart guide and this was a difference- I had setup to 2.0, changed it to 7.1 as per instructions, but still no luck. I have Win10 and read this could be a wasapi problem? I have 2 options- wasapi and directsound but both of them give me only PCM sound
