dear TEAM KODI,firstly KODI player is great ,take my breath away.when select audio passthrough in windows 11,computer volume controller won't work,i have receiver which has no volume controller,therefore playing movie with dolby or dts will always get the maximum volume,would you power up to make audio passthrough 's audio volumn[dts,dolby] controllable,like truehd,also,make music [flac,wave,ape]volumn adjustable in passthrough mode

when passthrough is enabled kodi sends the audio as-is to the receiver and that's the point of using passthrough
if kodi controls the audio volume it has to process it first which is not passthrough and negates the point of passthrough
use of passthrough is to avoid any and all modifications and simply "pass" it "through" to the receiver

Exactly, passthrough mean exactly that, it is passed through unalterred. For Kodi to control the volume then Kodi has to decode the audio, so to do that you'll need to disable passthrough, however assuming your HDMI out is capable of Multichannel LPCM there should be no discernible loss of quality. Where decodong to LPCM might be a problem is for anything with Atmos or DTS:X as the height channels will be lost, for example if it's 7.1.4 Atmos you'll get the 7.1 channels out via LPCM but not the 4 height channels.

Then you are not getting the orginal audio supplied from the media file via passthrough, it's being decoded somewhere and then being re-encoded back to TrueHD.

KODI has a awesome feature,enable dolby transcoding which allow music[lpcm,ape,wave] etc to passthrough to reciever,to my disappointment,when playing music[ape,flac] ,KODI has no volume controller too.

Kodi volume control works fine here on all music formats ( except anything Dolby or DTS), so it sounds like something is not right with your PC audio settings.
