A bit hard to post logs when I can't use GUI to enable debug logging...

Quick question about the soundsettings:
In openelec I would normally se my reciever when choosing output for the sound and passthrough, e.g. with Milhouse openelec 7 build on a Intel nuc5cpyh I see the following
ALSA: HDA Intel PCH, PIO SX-LX70 on HDMI
with Fritsch openelec 7 builds:
ALSA: HDA Intel PCH, HDMI
The sound works as it should, with passthrough of truehd and dts-hd, but I was wondering if the type of reciever is hidden on purpose or is information about the reciever that not communicated to openelec Fritsch builds?

Looks like a kernel change - can you post the needed logs? then we can see.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

btw, why do i need to set audio channels to 2.0 to get dd/dts passthrough working via hdmi?

Most likely:
when you select 2.0 channels AC3 Transcoding is available and as you have selected "Sync Playback to Display" this is the only way to work together with transcoded passthrough. If Transcode is disabled - you will just receive PCM.
See the first post for an explanation.

I am currently traveling for work, so i dont have access to my nuc, but will post logs when I am back. I dont see it as a problem, but switching between Milhouse and Fritsch give the different results.
Regarding color options for passthrough; I think I have read somewhere (probably avs forum) that 1080p bluray movies always is 16:235?
If yes, does that mean that when watching video, that even if my tv support fullrange, the colors will be more true to the source if 16:235 without dithering is selected in openelec settings?

No - this is intended behaviour. No passthrough with realtime streams. Transcoding is the workaround.
