The Dolby Atmos channel order is sides before rears. If Atmos is decoded by an AVR (or other official Atmos decoder) the channel order is correct. I suspect when Kodi decodes the Atmos core it does not switch the channel order correctly, but I haven’t tested that since I decode with AVRs.
BTW: The files I provide to configure Kodi in the that thread is only for a new FTV as it copies add-ons and the add-on database which will overwrite any preexisting installation.
Do other 7.1 formats decode correctly to PCM in Kodi - is it just True HD and or DD+ with Atmos that doesn't (Atmos itself not being a codec - more an extension to other codecs?) ?
Another explanation for channel swapping could be that somewhere in Kodi or Fire OS the HDMI PCM channel ordering is wrong?
