Edit Reason: Fixed typo in title for general purposes
)
- I am using Kodi in Fire tv stick 4k
- I have Bose 300 Soundbar that support AC3 and DTS
- I have AC3 and DTS passthrough enabled in Kodi audio settings.
Sometimes when playing videos, audio is not working.
- Then I open quick settings and disable pass-through -> audio will start working.
- Again, I re-enable pass-though -> and the audio is still working.
What could be the issue here?

Fire TV doesn't support DTS.

FireTV 4K does for sure:
DD+ (only in RAW mode with that soundbar most likely), AC3, DTS, DTS-HD-HR is supported when proper equipment is connected.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Basically they only advertize what they sell, which is AC3 and DD+ ... from kodi, AC3, DTS, DD+ and DTS-HD-HR works fine.

I cannot help you. I have the exact same setup: FireTV 4K + Denon AVR -> PT with refreshrate switching works perfectly.
Start filing a proper bug with the mandatory information.

Reason: Old Firestick: AC3 and EAC3 only. New FireTV 4K stick has IEC support -> we can tunnel: AC3, DTS, EAC3 and DTS-HD-HR.
That's it. For FireTV 1 -> amazon does not want you to have it. Workaround "shitty build" on your own risk.
