Any ideas on why my DTS or AC3 passthough is not working??
I have an emotiva UMC-200 which can handle most formats.
Netflix DD+ passthrough works correctly, however Kodi 15.2 with passthrough enabled, and AC3 + DTS compatible reciever checked.
Once a media file is opened, a Digital Static sound is heard. I have confirmed the file and HDMI port works perfectly on another player.

I also have this same problem, I get nothing but static when I enable Dolby digital pass-thru. What decode mode did you switch your reciever to? The only way I can also get surround is to let Kodi convert to 5.1 PCM in software.

Koying mentioned that the static noise problem occurs when volume mode is set to variable output in SATV settings. Change it to fixed output and see.
