Hi guys,
on my Nexbox Amlogic S905x I had no more Sound for Ac3 channels without passthrough with Kodi 18.
That worked to version kodi-20180620-95de5f5b-master-armeabi-v7a.apk.
With version kodi-20180621-92d16f4f-master-armeabi-v7a.apk also sound via passthrough is gone. So absolutely no more ac3 sound available

I have the same with my Minix U9-H.
Audio (passthrough) works fine with Leia Nightly 20180620, but with Alpha 2 Release (or 20180621) I have no audio at all.
The Passthrough section in the audio settings is empty.
Debug log for 20180620:

Debug log for Alpha 2:

I noticed the 20180620 has this:
Code:

Where in the Alpha 2 log the 3 DEBUG lines are missing, and m_streamTypes states: No passthrough capabilities
I informed the dev. It's caused by the Mediacodec internal codecs ... in short: the "onboard decoders" suck like hell and we will use ffmpeg again.
Sorry for posting here but I was going to make a thread about videos using the ringer volume (ringtones, call) instead of the media volume (songs, videos) in my smartphone.
Are those music issues related?
