Android 5 doesn't support DTS so it will not work. Start reading on this topic as it has been covered to many times

The Kodi devs are really frustrated by the quality of Firmware that even large Multinational Android TV (Philips, Sony) and Android media player manufacturers are churning out with little care taken to follow Google Application Programming Interface standards properly.
Suggestion - go to the START HERE thread and read what is contain within and also following the links.

Update your TV to Android 6, and you will have a working DD passthrough. Unfortunately not DTS.

And if you update to the shitty version you will also have DTS with the pcm hack!

I have the same issue on the Sony 55XD8599 and the home theater HT-RT3.
Although I did all you told above, I still get either static noise or 2-ch (no surround).
Could you tell me the exact settings that you have?

I guys!
I try to use Kodi from the TV. It's a Sony XD8099, running Android MM .
No way to get any audio from Kodi (version is 17.1 Krypton).
The TV is connected through HDMI cable to my Marantz NR 1605 AVR, using obviously the HDMI-Arc port (#3).
I have to say that, using the same configuration, the Netflix app running on the TV works perfectly, sending back to the AVR DD+ 5.1 audio stream (as I can see on the AVR display).
Using Kodi, instead, no sound out from my 5.1 speakers!
I try to change Kodi settings in many ways, but the result doesn't change. I already configure successfully Kodi on other devices at my home (a couple of mediaplayer, a RPI2, two Android tablets and a Windows10 PC....), but never this issue occurs....
Any ideas or suggestion? I don't know if the same behavior is obtained running other Kodi forks like SPMC...
Thanks!
Andrea
P.S.
It's not really a problem, tipically I run Kodi from my Wetek Play2 without any problems, obtaining full digital audio streaming (DD, DTS, DTS-MA, DD TrueHD).. It's only to understand ....
thanks
