Kodi 17 is horrible in x9s when it is in a 5.1+ setup. Passthrough doesn't work (as querty1000 pointed out the android is heavily patched and not following standards). Even without passthrough, multi-channels AC3 doesn't work, DTS doesn't work and they play in stereo. AAC also stereo regardless of the channels.
My recommendation, do not bother. Zidoo should follow Xiaomi's example and follow standards. Maybe upgrade the box to Android 7.0 and start with vanilla OS. All they have to do is to to adjust their media player to the default passthrough in Android and stop messing with a fork. Such machine will be future proof because Kodi will never stopped to be developed.
