I have just upgraded my audio system to 5.1 system, which is quite exciting and I believe it works a lot better with Kodi and some of previous issues are done as they only apply in stereo setup.
I have a few questions though:
1) I can set Kodi to "passthrough mode" in "settings-system-audio", but then have yet another "passthrough" setting that I can change, while watching a movie. The options I have while watching a movie are far less exhausted. Are these two settings in sync and/or are both even working in parallel?
2) I tried using "passthrough" (in both settings), which appears to do something. I have a very good amplifiers, so thought passthrough would be the better option. Is that assumption even correct? Also, passthrough gives at least as good quality with 5.1, but speaker output when listening to aac stereo files is barely hearable.
3) What exactly does stereo upmix do?
Ultimately, the first is my biggest question as it feels so weird to change settings in different places within Kodi and these changes do not appear in sync.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
