Surround Sound on Android TV Box
#1
So recently i've buying S905X Android TV Box and Installing Kodi but i dont know why i cant hear surround (LFE,Center,SR,SL),only L and R are working

i've changing the Audio Channel to 5.1 and using External USB 5.1 CH (CM6206) splitter from ebay,its a real 5.1CH external splitter,not a virtual one,and im testing with my Surface and works fine.

is there any configuration that i missed?

btw im installing the setup for my bedroom,im using Samsung TV N5003 43",did the Android TV Box support surround Passtrough from The HDMI to the TV or i can use the USB Adapter,im using Denon AVR on my family room with my LG TV,but im using Custom build 5.1CH amp on my room.

what thing do i need?

thanks for answering Smile

SPDIF supports 2.0 PCM channels, but also formats that are compressed and sent via 2.0 PCM Channels, e.g. DTS, AC3 - but your box needs to have proper firmware to support that from Android level.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
