Using Shield TV 2015 + Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro 2 USB for toslink out.

Kodi 16: USB optical passthrough DTS and DD 5.1 just fine.
Updated to Kodi 17 yesterday: USB optical passthrough of DTS and DD 5.1 not working anymore. Only 2 channel PCM will work.

SPMC 16.5.5 works fine after selecting RAW, but I stopped using SPMC a while ago because of built-in subtitles not working from library.

I am wondering whether the Kodi team took ShieldTV + USB audio for toslink into account (however pcm 2.0 works, probably has to do with the fact that I cannot choose RAW over IEC and I think Kodi 16 was not using IEC yet?).

Hope this can be fixed, otherwise "stuck" with kodi 16.

You can help team kodi quite a log by posting a Debug Log. As most people don't understand "what worked ™" with Jarvis I won't explain that a 200th time ... if the only thing in mind is "Jarvis worked, but, but, but, but Krypton" - go download a "shitty" build as adviced above. It will bring back the Jarvis audio behaviour by changing two lines of codes intended to save people from theirselves as they obviously have no clue at all what Jarvis did ...

Build shitty v17 final while we speak.

I appreciate it and can imagine it is sometimes annoying having to explain certain things over and over again. I will switch on the debug log. I hope it will be interpreted as a bug by Kodi. Please don't get me wrong, I am enjoying XBMC/Kodi for quite some years on several devices and it became part of my lifestyle. I appreciate all the effort that went and goes into it while it remains free of charge. Very grateful for all the development.
