Recently I bought a Cu-box i4. Runs on Android 4.4.2, on which I installed XBMC Gotham (13.2). Everything works smootly, exept one annoying thing: I cannot change my Audio output.
I want this to play my music files on my receiver through optical out, but when I try to change the audio output i see the line Audio Output device which says: android, audiotrack. This is greyed out and I cannot change it. Same thing with Passthrough options. Is this a problem with XBMC or with Android? Any thoughts on how to get my optical out working?
Many thanks for your help!

I have a similar problem with an ugoos ug007b android device with Kitkat 4.4.2.
I use audio out via HDMI for movies and a separate attached USB audio device for playing music (when TV is turned off).
This works without problems, but to change the audio interface I have to go into the android settings and change the default audio device.
Is it possible to somehow toggle the audio interface inside xbmc?

Since it's a cubox-i, I'd try the OpenELEC or Geexbox builds for it. You'd loose access to Android apps, but you'll have better audio control.

using new fire tv w 4k resolution 2015 1st release... installed tvmc edition and did config upgrade through the programs/maintenance tools//config wizard. trying to do an easy configuration w multiple devices for friends/family that can easily be fixed w all the same "easy" steps hopefully... needing to fix the audio output issue... it's really quiet. i can increase w the menu during video thru audio options but that makes little difference. in the kodi settings settings "output device" is greyed, i've changed the passthrough etc.. they still remain greyed..
the "audio output device" remains grey as well, even after i followed a tutorial on deleting the xml source/f
is this an issue w new fires or is this just an issue w me? i've been trying to find new shit but it's not happening
