Just installed LibreELEC from a microSD card and YES, it does play HD audio... Just grabbed a device tree for a S905x box, and it works, but stock IR/Bluetooth does not work. Did not test WiFi, but my WiFi does show up. Will continue to test.
To install, I just burned the LibreELEC img onto an older 16 gig microSD card using Rufus. I then downloaded a S905x device tree, renamed it to "dtb.img", and copied it to the root of the microSD card that I just installed LibreELEC onto. I then inserted the microSD card into my box. I removed power from the box, inserted a paper clip into the reset hole in the bottom of the box. As I kept depressing the reset switch with the paper clip, I re-applied power. I counted to 10 and released the paper clip that was depressing the reset button. The box then installed LibreELEC. Really a piece of cake.
I have not tried to root the box, SO FAR.............
