There's no amlogic android 6 firmware out that is worth using. If you bought a box that has it just return it or use it as a doorstop until amlogic and you box manufactur has released a correct version.

Yeah, what I said above.
AMLogic says: "There exists no Android 6 software for our devices out there, we are currently working on that and want to make the audio standard when we release it".
But certain vendors with aml chips already ship Android 6, which uses the old non official AML API.
Kodi uses the non standard API on all Android 5 and lower AML boxes and uses the new standard conform API on Android 6 and later. I implemented this to not keep users in the rain with those (old) boxes.
Problem clear? We have not a single way to differentiate between them.
Problem for me: Making the audio work on your box is a single line of code, which would certainly kill (active noise) other AML user's ears that will get the "standard conform" update later on.
I should have removed _all_ the AML specific support once and for all with no mercy at all ... I really, really regret that I ever allowed such a non standard mess in koid's Audiotrack sink - it will not happen anymore.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

No they ship broken version where neither RAW nor IEC works which I told you already. No matter what you do these boxes are broken
