I've recently purchased a U9-H to replace an old generic S905x box.
My setup is as follows >
Minix U9-H into Samsung Q9FN "One Connect box" and audio out of that via Toslink/Optical to AVR* - Storage is courtesy of a 4TB network share.
* The AVR doesn't support 4k so all feeds go into the TV and the AVR just handles audio.
My U9-U audio settings are as follows >
DRC Mode --> Line
DTS Drcscale --> SOUND0, (0%).
Digital Sounds --> Auto detection (HDMI Passthrough)
Sound Devices --> Input devices - Auto, & Output devices - HDMI.
My Kodi settings are as follows >
Allow passthrough - Enable
Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver - Enable
Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) capable receiver - Enable
DTS capable receiver - Enable
Number of channels - 5.1
Maintain original volume on downmix - Disabled
Stereo upmix - Disabled
Output Config - Best match
Keep audio device alive - 1 min
Send low volume noise - Enable
Issue >
Regardless of audio codec whatever movie I play via the U9-H the AVR detects stereo. It does this if I play a file via Kodi or if I play the same file via Mx Player.
If I play the same file directly via the TV (E.G DLNA) my AVR correctly detects AAC/DD/DTS etc
Advice >
Am I missing something obvious? I had CoreElec installed on my S905x and simply allowing "Audio Passthrough" on that seemed sufficient and the AVR worked fine so I don't think the Q9FN is a culprit. Likewise, if I use DLNA to play a file directly via the Q9FN itself the AVR works fine.
It's only when I use the U9-H that I seem to be restricted to stereo. Are there any logs I can obtain that may elaborate on the possible cause?
