5.1 channel versions would not play correctly and came out as only stereo.
That is expected. Only passthrough DTS/AC3 will be multichannel. Everything else is downmixed to stereo. Currently.

My DTS tracks don't "play" the amps DTS symbol binks on and off and I get
"snipit" of disorted sound.

The samples are here:

or these which are easier to get

Can you point at a specific DTS file that is failing? Do you have DTS passthrough enabled? Did this used to work?

Yes I double checked all the passthrough options are ticked in xbmc and I have:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1
hdmi_drive=2
force_hdmi_open=1

set in my RPI config.txt file.

What I did find was if the DTS is in a Video format (eg .mkv) it is passed through
as expected. However, as in the examples when the DTS stream is a wav/dts file
then it doesn't play correctly with the amp seeing the stream "twitching" as DTS
with different bit rates. I was soooo pleased with the new firmware playing tracks
fully and not hanging I started trying everything else out :-) so I have not tried
this on the RPI before so not sure if it worked on a previous rpi release/firmware.

Is there a "hidden" option not to down mix to stereo and just pass the stream
through to the AMP? Or a different ".xxx" filetype name to use?
