I have a Mi Box 3 with Kodi. When playing 5.1 AAC files there, it transcodes it to 5.1 DD and passes-through to my sound system.
I just got the Shield. With the same sound system and same files, it doesn't transcode 5.1 AAC to DD. It just outputs regular stereo to my sound system.
I tried asking for help in Shield forums, but they said that AAC to DD transcoding is done by Kodi itself, therefore it's a Kodi issue.
I have all the same configuration under Settings -> System -> Audio. Passthrough enabled. Even checked during video playback under Audio settings that passthrough is enabled.
I should add that DD files and DTS files all work fine and pass-through to the sound system
Please help, or at least tell me if there is anything wrong in my question
Thank you
