I have Kodi set to fixed 7.1 output, and I'm getting multichannel PCM for everything just like before. I'd been using the fritsch builds, but I moved to the Matrix beta last week. My Fire Stick 4K is running 6.2.7.6 (NS6276/2933), which I think is the latest firmware. It's set to "best available" or whatever that setting is called, not 2.0. My AVR is a Pioneer VSX-1124. Is this another YMMV issue?To give you a summary as you asked: my passthrough settings work okay for DTS and DD but the Multichannel PCM for AAC 5.1 no longer works. Instead it just shows 2 channel stereo. The 'workaround' that's been previously talked about to change the AFTV sound settings to 2 channel stereo does some how affect the receiver where it will now display Multichannel on the AVR but I am missing the audio from the surrounds. Others have said there surrounds work with this setting change...
I have the same software version on my AFTV 4k (6.2.7.7) so it looks like your setup survived the update. Out of the 3 of us that have mentioned our AVR's with this issue 2 Denons are not working and 1 Pioneer is okay. If your running any settings outside of the default that you think might affect this issue let us know.
