Check in Android Oreo > audio setting you have HDMI selected.
Might have to enable Advanced or Expert mode in Kodi Audio settings, bottom left of screen.
Otherwise reboot Mi Box and ensure audio receiver is turned On before you do in future.

Quite simple: We try to open it, but it fails for every API Android provides.
More concrete:
On startup, kodi tries to open an audio sink with:
AC3, DTS, EAC3, TrueHD, DTS-HD -> RAW_FORMAT
IF IEC format is support it tries IEC-2 channel (DTS, AC3), if additionally 192 khz is supported it tries E_AC3, if additionally 8 channels IEC is support it adds TrueHD, DTS-HD
Kodi remembers all the succesful opened sink formats and adds them to a list. You see that in your log which test was succesful.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Thabks a lot Fritsch !
Hum i begin to understand and can see that in my log only up to Dd+ channel. No true hd have been successfully openned.
DTS HD failing is normal as my soundbar is only compativle atmos/trueHD
That means that for my issue is that kodi failed to sink true HD either raw or IEC format. If the soundbar work corrctly with a blueray and true hd that means that problem is within the mibox 3 and the android version in there which cause the truehd sink to fail right?

It's not a kodi problem, kodi cannot do anything at all, it just asks Android to open a TrueHD sink and Android does not want it - try to ask your box vendor for an upgrade.

Thanks Fritsch!
So i tested to downgrade the mibox 3 to a previous firmware (8-0-2167) then installed kodi 18.3 and it worked, i have the true HD passthrough option available and it worked perfectely.
Even if the bow i'm guessing xiaomi remove the true hd codec compativility in their last build.
In conclusion the last mibox3 updates are not compatible with true hd.
Kind regards!
