I have a 2015 shield, connected to my amp trough HDMI cable, my amp is a yamaha RX-A3020 supporting TruHD and DTS MA. Amp is connected from the amp to my TV trough HDMI.

I'm using Kodi 17 last release.

- Kodi is set up in passtrough
- Parameter "Sync Playback to display is set Off (otherwise pastrough does not work)
- Parameter "Delay after change of refresh rate is set to 2.5s (otherwise True HD or DTS MA Amp decoding does not start)

Here is the description of my problem :

When is start a movie having a TrueHD or a DTS MA audio track, sounds came up after 5 to 20 seconds. During the no sound time my amp says "Decoder Off", of couyrse when sound came up Amp says "DTS-HD Hi Res".

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

Hello, I use the following equipment:

- yamaha rx-a1020
- 8 year old samsung led tv
- shield tv

I do not have the problems you have with kodi krypton. Audio starts immediately behind the video with audio passthrough and the correct frame rate. Everything works really smooth. I use the same settings as you.

But I had another problem. Since Nougat I always got 640x480@60Hz after cold start. To get my favorite resolution of 1920x1080@50Hz I also always had to reboot.

It seems that the installation of a master-/slave-extension lead solved the issue. The avr is the master at this extension lead. It works as expected now, like with Marshmallow before. I get the correct resolution directly after a cold start.

The slave is started some milliseconds behind the master, but it seems to be enough for the resolution handshake.

Is this a known issue?
