I am running a fresh install of kubuntu 18.04.1 and Kodi 17.6 (installed via stable ppa) on an ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming ITX/ac with a i7-8700K CPU using kernel 4.19.4-041904-generic. The htpc is connected to a Yamaha RX-V867 receiver. I am unable to get pass-thought audio output of DTS-HD / Dolby TrueHD. Standard Dolby Digital / Dolby Digital Plus / DTS works with out issue. I have pulse audio disabled and running with only ALSA.
I have a similar set up but with and older htpc running xbuntu 16.04 using a 7th general i7 and kodi 17.6. This setup is able to pass-thought the DTS-HD / Dolby TrueHD without issue. The same receiver as above is being used.
In terms of trouble shooting I have tried stock 4.15 kernel, along with 4.16, and finally 4.19. I have used the alsa test command shown below which correctly outputs a test sound to each channel.
Here is a copy of the debug log captured from startup, attempted playing of a video with a DTS-HD stream, and finally shutdown.

This is the connection being used by kodi to pass-thought the audio:
This is what ALSA shows when trying to sort out the audio information:
Please let me know if you need any additional information or have any pointers as to why my setup is unhappy. Thank you in advance for any help.
