- Has IEC61937 audio support for Kodi HD audio passthrough in Firmware.
2018 - Mi Box S Oreo 8.1 Firmware:
- 5.1 DD+ passthrough has audio dropouts
- 5.1 DD+ is not post processed and output as 5.1 DD, nor is there a SPDIF Android Settings output option to be able to output such DD audio.
- The IEC61937 audio standard support has now gone missing from Firmware.
