I'll do my best to get some logs for you later on today but in a brief test this morning:
- when connected directly to my TV (Sony Bravia XH85) and to my receiver via ARC (Sony HT-XT1) the FireTV 4k (running kodi-20201024-08ee377c-fritschfiretv-armeabi-v7a.apk) outputs multi channel LPCM when playing a video file with TrueHD audio. DTS, DTS-MA and DTS-X all show as "DTS" on the receiver (whatever that means) when passthrough is enabled. When DTS and DTS-HD passthrough are disabled I get multi channel LPCM as expected.
- when connected directly to the AV receiver (and to the TV via ARC) the FireTV 4k transcodes TrueHD audio to DD+, DTS is passed through OK but when passthrough is disabled I get DD+ again.
So it does seem like the behaviour of the FireTV 4k changes depending on how it is connected for me at least. I don't know if it is relevant but the FireTV 4k complained that the HDMI port does not support HDCP2.2 when directly connected to the HT-XT1.
