Hi all,

There is said a lot about audio passthrough on the Internet. And I managed to get it working long time ago. In Kodi audio passthrough is enabled (and also all options like dts, dolby, etc. etc.).
However when I play a video now my AVR (Denon) shows "Multi Channel In" in stead of (in this case) DTS-HD.
In Kodi logging I see "no passthrough" in the line "Creating Audio Stream". I am sure the video has DTS-HD and DTS as an alternative audio stream.

My system specs are:
Intel HD Graphics 630. Connected via HDMI to Denon receiver which supports Dolby, DTS, DTS-HD, etc. etc.

Here's my debug logging concerning audio:
At the sixth line kodi says: no pass-through. Why? I have it enabled.
Hope anyone can help.
