I can only get stereo through the windows PVR. I know the server is working properly as I can get Dolby digital on a firetv with pass through.
Pass through is working properly for all other items. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

If you are using Krypton then passthrough is disabled for all live TV.

Really? Is this a bug? I know this was working with Jarvis, but didn't know if it was specific to dvblink or Krypton.

No it is a deliberate decision by the devs. There are plenty of threads on it, I'll let you find and read them.

This is really disappointing. Why not let users select the option they would prefer (ie 2.0 or passthrough) under the TV settings. This is a step backwards, as there is a lot of live tv broadcast with 5.1 audio these days.

It seems that this strange issue of working Dolby Digital in Live-TV in my case is related to time shifting, which is (of course) activated on Dvblink-addon. Probably Kodi does not see this time shifted Live-TV as a real-time material and therefore the passthrough is possible. Just a theory, of course.
Another possible option to get 5.1-sound for Live-TV in Krypton is to trigger the AC3-transcoding ON in Kodi passthrough-settings.

Any update to this? So Kodi is useless for me. Most content is in Dolby. Or could I set the mode on the soundcard in Windows to Dolby Atmos and Kodi could use the channels? If I try this with the creators update and the newest Intel drivers, for me it only sounds like stereo...

Why not send LPCM, it will send all 6 channels over HDMI.

Your AVR's room features should work with PCM as well as DTS/AC3
Listen and see, I am intrigued to know.

No there isn't, unless you count converting it to ac3.
