On the KODI Audio page you need to tick Enable Passthrough to get the digital signal down the HDMI cable untouched.
Then don't just use the default, manually select the HDMI option. (Direct Sound or WSAPI)
If your AV Amp support Dolby and DTS then tick these options too.

Thanks for the prompt response.
Yay, it worked.
I still do not gave GUI clicks but the recorded program playback audio is working. (Audio, GUI sounds is enabled).
I had tried "WASAPI: HDMI" before (just reset back to defaults for posting screenshots) but my test to see if it was working was to listen for the GUI clicks as historically if they worked I had playback audio.
For the benefit of others reading I changed the following:
- Audio output device - WASAPI: HDMI
- Enable pass through
- Enabled all "...capable receiver" options (my AVR specs claimed support for all)
Thanks for your assistance.

Is the audio for your recorded programs Dolby Digital? as if you're not getting GUI sounds that suggests a problem with PCM audio, if while in the GUI use the + key to make sure the Kodi PCM volume control is at 100%.

Maybe somebody can help me here.
Suddenly my receiver won't decode wasapi spdif anymore. Sound comes out but the Decode indicator on my receiver is not lit. It worked just fine before, then I started to experimenting with my Kodi skins resulting I made a clean install of it (Kodi), but I feel that is just a coincidence and the problem lies somewhere else. Feels mostly like there's some kind of an interfering with my Xonar U7 sound card and windows.
If I select Directsound spdif my receiver will decode the signals but there's a clearly difference in the audio quality compared to when wasapi was working.
Edit: Now it works again, one factor seem to be the "-Enable Dolby Digital (AC3) Transcoding" option, but that seems odd because the problem also occurred on dts streams. Maybe there was something with the sample rate also.

Hi,
I am beyond frustrated! I had a rock solid system on Win7 and about 6 months ago I updated to Win10. Since then I have permanent issues with Kodi playback on dvdplayer with regular (every 5min) stuttering in video & audio. Every so often (most recently with the AddonsTV.ag Config script) managed to remove the stutter, but with upgrading to Jarvis it has returned. I have played using extplayer and had no problems (but with MPC-HC player reduced functionality), and then tried DSPlayer again no playback problems but with an issue of a narrator that couldn't be resolved.
So I am back to dvdplayer ... and frustrated beyond frustration with this issue. I have followed the guide above without success.
I have uploaded the log (the issue occurred around 23.50 ... and clearly is something to do with sync ... but unable to sort out! (well trying to upload log but no option is obvious! ... I have done this using Log Uploder)
Help please!!

~Banter69live: Wookie? I think you may want to go and talk to the custom box builder. That isn't any KODI I recognise. Looks like a custom build for a custom box which almost certainly has a custom answer
And looking at your log shows a whole raft of dodgy add-ons in that debug log, I think you are probably on the wrong forum.
