Can anyone confirm for me if I set:Either 5.1 or 7.1 Kodi setting will work (assuming you have a 7.1 AVR with 5.1 speakers). If you have a 7.1 AVR with 7.1 speakers, you should select 5.1 only, because 7.1 is messed up on the FireTV sticks (side/rear channels are reversed). Hope that isn't too confusing. :-)
Speakers to 5.1 (I don't have 7)
Turn off transcoding.
Turn off Dolby and DTS buttons too.
It will send PCM to my Denon x3300 receiver of 5.1 TrueHD? Or do I need to set 7.1 even though I don't have 7 speakers?
Also, later this year I'm adding Atmos speakers, is there a way to get Kodi to output PCM for Atmos?
There are impediments to decoding Atmos. No open source decoder exists. No AVR accepts PCM beyond 7.1. So, it's not possible right now.
