With a recent update to my Arch system, audio passthrough has
stopped
<br>
working in Kodi. Kodi no longer shows the passthrough options
anymore
<br>
either. Here is what I have which has been working fine up until
recently.
<br>
<br>
-7.1 audio out HDMI (nvidia card) to an Onkyo receiver.
<br>
-KDE4 running as my DE with pulseaudio configured and working.
<br>
-Pulseaudio set up as the correct 7.1 audio (even get them all
in kde)
<br>
with passthrough items all checked in pavucontrol.
<br>
<br>
I was getting passthrough on the files that had supported codecs
and
<br>
kodi was handling everything else. Then when I wasn't in Kodi
audio was
<br>
great in the DE with all other applications. This set up was
working
<br>
great up until recently. It's as if pulseaudio has stopped
supporting
<br>
passthrough or my config got overwritten by a default.
<br>
<br>
Anyway, a recent update broke all this and the passthrough
options have
<br>
vanished from the kodi options. The closest I have gotten is
setting
<br>
sound configuration to stereo in pavucontrol and then the
passthrough
<br>
options magically appear in kodi again. But still no sound on
<br>
passthrough stuff and this option is unacceptable anyway as I
don't want
<br>
to reduce everything else to stereo just to get passthrough
working in
<br>
one app.
<br>
<br>
Any ideas what went wrong here? Is there a known bug in
pulseaudio 6.0
<br>
that causes this breakage?
<br>

I have read the above, but the main question is unsnswered. Did it
work before with non-stereo profiles?
<br>
<br>
My guess so far is that it never worked, and you broke it by
enabling the 7.1 profile that was not available before (i.e. I
guess that you were using a stereo profile before).

Sorry I wasn't clear. Yes it was all working with 7.1 before. I have
made no changes other than a normal system update (pacman -Syu) so I
do not understand why it has stopped working. In fact, I have had
7.1 working on this system for more than a couple of years now. I
originally got it working way back when pulseaudio woudn't even show
anything beyond 5.1 by editing some extra-hdmi.conf file or somesuch
in the pulseaudio system directory to add the extra speakers. I
can't seem to be able to find that file on my system anymore
however. But I remimber it having a LOT of stuff in it.<br>
