Thanks! I flashed 20190819 firmware (designed for Pendoo X6 Pro) on my Tanix TX6 4/64 and it works fine. Maybe it's too early to say whether it's all ok or not. Looks like everything works as it should at the moment (5.1 audio still works only while using the Kodi). I have no solution for this 5.1 audio codec. I tried a few different firmwares with Android 7 and 9. I've looked through information on the internet and I discovered that some codecs are just not supported by Android system itself. I need to use the Kodi application in order to play a video file with 5.1 audio codec, because Kodi has its own build codecs. If I want to use my favourite application from Google Play I hear no 5.1 sound because Android doesn't support one and my application uses only Android's stock codecs (in this case it doesn't use any codec I guess).

I just started to wonder if the official Android TV Boxes have the same problem or not.

The reason why it works in Kodi on Android is because Kodi transcodes the sound. Pass through also does not work in Kodi on Android 9 phone. In addition, hevc coded video cannot be stopped and resumed in Kodi. 1080p with transcoded sound does not play smoothly.

Not without some modifications I think. TX6S model has a different hardware than TX6, so it means also different drivers.

Thanks. Fingers crossed for someone to port Android10 to our TX6 soon. Performance on my Android9 is just miserable. I would rather keep Android7 which performs much better, but then again, my box is newer version where WiFi doesn't work because of missing drivers. Well, I should be either patient, or search for a new box.

Would it be possible to port Android10 from Tanix TX6S model?
Or, if I find .img file for it, could I just flash it and expect everything to work?
The only difference I see is H616 SoC, maybe the rest of the hardware is the same?

It should. I bought a Pendoo box & flashed Tanix fw on it no problem.

I know this firmware is for Pendoo X6 Pro, but will it work also with our Tanix TX6? The hardware on both devices are the same. Is it safe to try?

Is there any way to get VIPER4X on this device? I've installed BusyBox from playstore too.
I'm Using Tanix TX6 4/64 G variant

What android version do you have? 7 or 9?

Ok, so I decided to downgrade my 20190730 firmware to 20190722. Now 5.1 surround audio works... but only in the Kodi stock app (ver. 18.1). All others aplications don't work with 5.1 audio while watching any video (the screen runs smoothly, but with NO sound). I've tried with tons of options, settings, configurations, but nothing helped.

Any suggestions what else I could do or what firmware will support 5.1 sound?

I know that Kodi has its own built in player and codecs.

I've tried the following firmwares:
20190228 - no WIFI at all, video with 5.1 doesn't start at all.
20190615 - WIFI only with 2.4 GHz, no 5.0 GHz, video with 5.1 starts, but no sound.
20190722 (current installed) - both frequencies work, video with 5.1 works, but only in Kodi (ver. 18.1).
20190730 (version which came from the shop) - both frequencies work, video with 5.1 doesn't work at all (maybe because the Kodi was ver. 18.4).

Thank you very much! Maybe I try this firmware too and find out if the codecs are working properly with my IPTV.

I have a little problem with 5.1 surround audio codec.
