Why do some recommend setting 2.0 channels in Kodi, I'm not sure I understand how that makes pass-through work better?
If you're talking about people in this thread, the suggestion is setting the Firestick to Stereo and disable passthrough in Kodi. That's the only way I reliably get surround sound on my system. YMMV
When I set the Fire TV audio options to Stereo, that is what I get with my setup (optical cable from TV to AVR).
