Hi I have been using the following combination sucessfully until Kodi upgraded to Krypton.



I run Kodi on a NAS (Asustor) that outputs the audio via HDMI to a Samsung TV U55. This TV has a box connected to it with 4 HDMI ports and 1 optical out.

The optical out is connected to my Sonos Playbar.

I have tried all kinds of settings on the internet. Without success.

Current settings in Kodi:

Audio: 2.0

Allow Passthrough

AC3 capable receiver

AC3 decoding

the audio device is HDA in Samsung



Anyone have this issue? Any suggestions what I could try?
Set speakers to 5.1 instead of 2.0. This will enable all Dolby digital tracks to be passed through. If you also have non dolby digital audio tracks (e.g. DTS, DD+), then set speakers back to 2.0 and enable dolby digital transcoding in the KODI audio settings. This will convert all non DD tracks to DD for output via HDMI.
Coldashbin, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately still no sound coming out of the system. It must be in some setting but I am kind of lost. So here's what I could find:

TV: Samsung UE55JU7000

Sound menu: PCM, PCM, HD out: no, speakers set to TOSlink

HDMI 4 used: this has ARC between brackets.



Asustor: 3102T

Kodi Krypton: 17.6

Audio settings: 5.1, allow passthrough, digital transcoding, audio device set to HDA samsung



Is this correct or am I missing something? I also noted that there are 5.1 audio samples and 5.1 with the extra dolby. What is the difference? I used to play all these files without issue.



Thanks for your help.
