I don't really feel like going back to 16.1 so until/if this gets fixed, I'll probably have to hook my Roku 4 back up & use Plex to watch my Blu ray rips.
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.
Exact same for me, Shield TV -> Turtle beach USB -> toslink. Lost DD & DTS.
I will confirm tonight, but I do believe passthrough was working on RC3/RC4. An easy solution might be to downgrade 17 final to 17 RC4. Atl least we would still be on v17.
