Hi guys, I was given one of these Remix Mini android PCs as a gift and I wondered if it was possible to connect it to my 5.1 surround system (which is an analog one, i.e. 3.5 mms jacks only, as inputs). To give it a try, I used my HDMI audio decoder (one of these http://www.amazon.it/Hdmi-hdmi-digitali-...ecoder+5.1) to extract the audio. I use it with my PS3 and PC without problem, so I assumed it was worth a shot.
Now, here comes the trouble: the passthrough options in the PlayStore Kodi version does actually work, but the sound in the movies with AC3 tracks is noisy and clicky. With DTS tracks, it goes a little better: the sound is clear, but it drops every 2-3 seconds, so the problem still remains. I did some researches on the internet, but came up with nothing definitive, as I wasn't able to figure out if there was a solution or not. I also tried other Kodi versions without luck (the only version which actually gives me a 5.1 output, even as choppy as it is, is the PlayStore one).
So, here's my question: is it possible to have this working or it's an unresolvable hardware-related issue?
PS the Remix Mini is equipped with a 1.2GHz quad-core cortex A53 (64-bit) Allwinner processor.
Thank you !
