Hi, I have the following setup:

LG C4 OLED (connected via HDMI ARC to Beam)
Installed Kodi on LG C4
Sonos Beam

The problem is that when i try to play a kodi movie in dolby 5.1, I get PCM 2.0 or stereo 2.0 when in Sonos app.

When I play movie in Prime and Netflix (app in TV) I get 5.1 sound when I check in Sonos app.

I’m pretty sure (I might be wrong..) that this worked before, couple a weeks back but I had problem with sound sync with 4K movies and started re-config, I solved the sync but lost 5.1. I can’t find my way back to 5.1 and after 1h of trying I gave up.
 

Has anyone had any luck getting 5.1 with the same setup as I have and still have the sound synk?

Thank you!

Hi ​@gronskog, welcome to the Sonos Community!

If it’s just Kodi that’s having issues, then I think it’s say to say the issue lays there. I don’t use Kodi myself but if there was an update recently, then it may have changed the output settings of the service. I’d suggest checking to make sure they’re set correctly to pass 5.1 to the Beam. Also, if you have the option to try uninstalling the Kodi app on the TV then reinstalling it.

If these don’t help and you’re still only getting 2.0 on the Beam, your best bet would be to head to the Kodi support forums and ask there, or contact their support team for troubleshooting.

I hope this helps!
