Hi Guys.
I dont want to come on here asking dumb questions and i have done some research. I sat and read the first 20 pages of this post, and then skimmed through the rest, but i'm still somewhat unsure.

Now i Have an amazon FireTV Stick. like most kodi 16.1 worked fine, DTS, DD etc, and i understand the changes etc that have 'broken' this and why they were implemented.

my confusion lies where people are saying to set 2.0 speakers, set pasthough on, AC3 on, AC3 transcode on. This doesnt work at all for me, but i haven't read anyone else with this problem.

I get pcm 2 channels fine, and i know other are complaining about DTS, ad i honestly wouldnt even mind DTS transcoded to AC3, but i cant get AC3 either. any time AC3 passthrough is turned on, whether it be a genuine AC3 file, or a different file being transcodes to AC3, i get bursts of white noise. 10 seconds of silence then another burst of white noise. i get this for whole length of file. I'm guessing this is what you are referring to by people ruining their ears etc with noise, but the strange thing is that i am using the official Kodi 17.1, not a modified version like people are asking for.

Is this normal?

Thanks
