you need to sideload shitty version with PCM hack to get DTS. But that is on you since it does not work reliably and can do some unpleasant things.

Speaker Output to 5.1
Disable Sync to Playback
Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver
Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) capable receiver
Enable DTS Capable receiver
And that should do the trick...
Does not work for me. I am also on the new sony android version.
With the above settings and passthrough activated the playback does not work at all - the screen stays black.
Did sony fuck up? Or should I stay away from Kodi 17?

You have to first play AC3 via another app. Only afterwards would the PCM hack work. In my case I always fired up Live TV first with some AC3 channel which is the case anyway when I cold boot the TV. Playing something in SPMC via RAW API did the trick too.

I read through this thread and some very technical discussions. I have Mibox and based on quote above I should not be having the DTS passthrough issue on Mi box, correct?
Well, DTS not passing through, Is it that I have to wait for Nougat update or will current firmware on Mi box work?
I have passthrough enabled and DTS capable receiver selected.
Thanks,

Dunno if that's something fixable, but I guess I'll just have to live with it until Sony pushes out a fix for the official Kodi release.
