Like any media player HDMI connected to a TV - if you do not change any settings at all in Kodi Audio - All Audio formats will be downmixed to regular 2.0 PCM audio and output thru TV speakers, regardless of the quality of Firmware used.
Unless your TV supports DD, DD+ and DTS, you will not get any Passthrough Audio at all, when selecting those options.
This is a Krypton Passthrough Audio thread, mostly concerning HDMI connected AVR's.
You need IEC Firmware support for any DTS and HD Audio passthrough when using Kodi Krypton..

You are correct because you are not using Audio passthrough at all.

Android Lollipop 5.1 = Android API v21 or v22.
Read Post #1 that details what audio to expect.

So I've bought the Minix Neo U9-H, which has a S912-H Soc, to be sure I have DTS HDMA passthrough.
I've read in the Kodi boxes topic that there is no working LibreElec version for the U9.
I followed all steps that were recommended in this topic and in the topics on the Minixforum.
Passthrough works, but only after clearing my Android cache and after some short amount of time (probably after a restart of my U9) the passthrough does not work anymore.
So far I have chosen the right Android box, from a decent manufacturer. I followd all the right steps. So what do I do know?
Just tell Kodi not to use passthrough for DTS?

Rebuilding - will be there in 2 hours.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
