Hi guys, I've looked at a lot of older threads and can only conclude that I'm either doing something wrong or there's some kind of problem with my source files. My apologies if this has been asked in the past with a perfect solution and explanation!
I have a pioneer LX87 and an intel NUC, this is connected via HDMI and I have a 7.1 setup and I'm running Kodi 18.2-LEIA. I've played around with the passthrough settings; irrespective of whether I leave everything switched off/on (or ac3 settings specifically switched off) I'm never able to playback AAC 2 channel audio (this seems to be the standard for all trailers unfortunately). No problems at all playing back any other audio (although I suspect AAC 5.1 wouldn't playback either). Settings initially copied from here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Audio_quickstart_guide. Quite often I'll be unable to play a trailer but the actual movie will playback flawlessly (the video of the trailer plays but the amp remains sat with "stereo" across the screen in silence).
Happy to provide more information if necessary.
Thanks.
