For some reason, surround in Kodi works way better on my system with it on that setting. It's often the only way I get sound out of my rear speakers, even with 5.1 content. I don't know if it's something weird with my surround system or what.Oh, wow.. it's weirldy works
I'm using Kodi 18.9 right now, passthrough option gone with Firestick set to Stereo. But yeah, it gives me Multichannel PCM on everything.
No surround sound on other streaming apps (netflix, etc) though, obviously.
Do you guys mean setting it to 2.0 channels and disabling 'allow passthrough'?
No. I set FTVstick 4k Audio - Surround sound settings to Stereo.
With this setting, kodi 'allow passthrough' option will not be available.but setting number of channels to 5.1/7.1 in kodi, will give me Multichannel PCM from any sound formats.
If I set FTVstick 4k Audio - Surround sound settings to Best available:
- with Kodi 'allow passthrough' disabled = everything came out as DD+
- with Kodi 'allow passthrough' enabled = no sound on DTS/DTSHD-MA.
So in my case, this stick can't passthrough DTS at all. It's a poor device for kodi right now audio wise.
