Hardware/Software
Apple TV v4.1.1 Build 1553 (iOS v4.2.1)
XBMC v10.0 (Installed via apt-get)
Denon AVR-890
HDMI Audio (No Coax/SPDIF)
guisettings.xml
ac3passthrough = changed to "true"
dtspassthrough = changed to "true"
channellayout = left unchanged (value was "7" for my 5.1 setup)
I had the same bad stereo downmix problem as everyone else where FL+FR=FR and RR+RL=FL when playing AC3/DTS .mkv files with stock installation. After changing guisettings.xml as bruienne suggested, passthrough works beautifully on a handful of MKV files I've spot tested (all DTS, not sure if I have any AC3 to test or not).
This fixed my only major issue discovered so far with XBMC on iOS, great post!
