Hi guys,
NVidia Shield TV is connected to the receiver via hdmi. The Nvidia shield is running on Kodi 17.6 with audio passthrough activated. Dolby works as intended, whereas DTS doesn’t. What do I do to get DTS passthrough working?

Thanks

I tried SPMC but also DTS doesn't work.

To receive meaningful assistance you will need to provide a full debug log.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file.

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs
Do NOT post your logs directly into the forum. Always use a paste site like pastebin.com. Post the link to your pasted log in the forum

 My Nvidia Shield is connected to the TV via HDMI and the TV is connected to the AVR via HDMI ARC port.
Fortunately my TV supports passtrought (bitstream) over HDMI ARC port and I can use both Dolby Digital and DTS in passtrought.

Check if in Kodi you have "Sync playback to display" enabled, if yes try again by disabling it.

 Hi, I tried to do it. However, the folder where the log should be saved is empty. I don't know why.

Is the surround setting on the Shield set to "Auto".  I've found DTS won't work if it is set to "Always"

 Yes it's on "auto" and sync playback to display is off.

My receiver support only HDMI 1.4. But I tried Popcorn Hour player and DTS, DTS HD works.
Sometimes KODI shows mi "unknown FLAC" against DTS track.
Sometimes KODI shows properly "DTS track" but on receiver display it's still multichannel PCM.

You need to turn on show hidden files/folders.

Can anyone help me please?

Your log does not use passthrough at all. Disable "Sync Playback to Display" and check if you have selected PT correctly.

Set "Number of channels" to 2.0 and try then.

You need to set the settings mode to Advance or Expert (where it shows Standard in your first pic), then select each individual supported codec.
