Hi,

new guy here - I sure hope that I am not breaking protocol. I looked around but I didn't find any solution so I thought I 'd ask.

The problem is that I can't get 5.1 AC3 output when the X96 is connected to the projector. It works ok when the HDMI goes to the TV

I had setup Android to (adb shell settings put encoded_surround_output = 2 (always) and 3 (manual)) Kodi to pass-through. This works when it is connected to TV and to the 5.1 system for both AC3 and MP4A files (require trans-coding) because the audio format is negotiated via HDMI.

Now the projector on the other hand having only two channels fails to establish a 5.1 surround encoding. I tried to override it with encoded_surround_output setting (via both settings menu and adb) but it fails resulting in silence or plain PCM 2 channel output.

I enabled logcat and I got that exception near the AUDIO_FORMAT negotiation. Do you think that is related? Do you know how can I silence / fix the exception?

Is there a workaround? Is it a Kodi issue? Is it a firmware issue?

The best thing to do is replicate the issue and provide a link to the uploaded Kodi Debug Log here then someone might be able to analyse what is going on.

thanks for the pointers.

Here is the requested log: iqazeteraj.kodi (paste)

I run the test AC3 file two times. One with no passthrough for which I get stereo only and one with passthrough for which I get nothing.

I wish I could spot anything suspicious in it...

Thanks in advance.
