Audio issue with HDMI passthrough and kodi

[dams86]

Hi all,

First sorry for my english writing.

I encounter an issue with my tronsmart R28 (I know, I'm not in the good category, but it seems nobody speak about the R28 but always about the beelink).

What I use:
-> Tronsmart R28
-> ROM wasser-3.0.3-beelink-r89-rk3288_box
-> last KODI version (16)
-> I play movie from my NAS and SMB share (RJ45, not wireless)

When the movie have a:
->stereo source: No pb. I can choose passthrough or not, video and audio are perfect (perfect case fo series)
->Dolby Digital source: With passthrough enable, I have audio shuttering (every 2 or 3 seconds), but not with the passthrough disable. Video is perfect in all cases.
->DTS source: I can enable or disable passthrough, the way is always the same. Audio is always play in stereo, like stereo source. I haven't audio or video shuttering.

I would like to know if I'm alone in this case, or if somebody have the same issue and know how I can fix that. I'm testing Raspberry PI 2 and i'm very suprise because all works perfectly (and only for 35$ :|)
Thanks for your help.

Damien.

Please use RK or Wasser Kodi 15.2, normal Kodi 16 doesn't have correct pass-through on Rockchip RK3288 devices.

http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/rk-kodiapp-15.2-lollipop.apk

You can also follow my guide:

Correct Pass-Through Settings
Android settings
-Resolution is set on AUTO
-Framerate sync ENABLED(might not be available)
-Color space is set on AUTO(might not be available)
-Audio - Set to HDMI Bitstream not Default

Kodi settings
-Playback - Adjust display refresh rate - Always
-Pause during refresh rate change - 11 seconds
-Sync playback to display - On
-Acceleration - Allow hardware acceleration MediaCodec - On
-Allow hardware acceleration RockchipCodec - On
-System - Audio output - Play GUI sounds - Never
-Enable pass-through - On
-DD/DD+/DTS/TrueHD/DTS-HD - On

Here is a spreadsheet with Audio Receivers with best settings to use and what works

Mo, would this apk and settings also work on rk3368? I haven't looked at that sheet yet.

Yes
For RK3368 there is already RK Kodi 16 but it only works on Zidoo X6 and my HPH NT-V8 firmware correctly.
RK Kodi 15.2 works on most other RK3368 firmware.

Thanks Mo. Do you have a link? I will give it a try.
