You can find some channel check demos here:

Hi mate. Thank you for the reply. I was referring to this in the first post in the thread :
7.1 Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA will be decoded to 7.1 LPCM audio and output
(hint - set Kodi audio channels 7.1 and disable those Kodi HD audio options)
So do u mean that this method won't give correct 7.1? Are u referring to the sides and rears being reversed or are you saying that its not 7.1 but actually 5.1 being repeated at the rear? I have been playing a few movies and it seems like the rear is correct, for example when a car zooms from the back into the front, I can feel the sound moving forward from the rear to the front.
It's 7.1 but with the side and rear channels reversed.
Oh ok thanks mate. Any idea how I can check those demo files using Kodi?
Edit : Yes I managed to test it out! Sadly, you are right. The side and rear channels are reversed. So there's no way to get correct 7.1 when playing back a file with Dolby True HD or DTS-HD MA. With the DD+ sample file, it works perfect. There is no way to correct the channels right? If I set to 5.1 in Kodi settings, I assume I won't be getting any sound from my rear speakers when I play a 7.1 file?
