Can you please help me to understand this logic?

My av reciever is onkyo tx nr 686 with Dolby atmos, dtsx and hdmi arc function.

My TV is LG 55 UK6470PLC with hdmi arc function and without Dolby atmos dtsx decoding (so that I bought N2 for able to passthrough dolby atmos and dtsx to my reciever)

Thanx

Your Onkyo TX-NR686 support this:

4K/60 Hz, HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision™, BT.2020, and HDCP 2.2 video pass-through support via HDMI®



So simply connect via the following:

N2 > HDMI cable > Onkyo > Onkyo HDMI 2.0 ARC port > HDMI cable > HDMI 2.0 (ARC) port on the LG TV.

In CoreELEC Kodi Settings > System > Audio, on the bottom left of screen select Advanced.

Then in that same Audio configuration section,
Enable All the Audio Passthrough options. Do NOT enable EAC3 transcoding.

If you want Multichannel LPCM audio from 5.1 / 7.1 AAC audio encoded files (which you do), you need to install the -ng nightly .tar update:

Manual .tar updating instructions for CoreELEC using SAMBA shares is here:
https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/how-to-...eelec/1037

Then for Kodi Audio output device: select > ALSA: AML-AUGESOUND, HDMI Multi Ch PCM
Also set the Kodi Audio channels to 7.1 after doing that.

Everything will work them Smile
