It took me a few minutes to try the command line choices. You might be able to select the proper sound card this way at least.<br><br><a href="http://kodi.wiki/view/PulseAudio" target="_blank">http://kodi.wiki/view/<wbr>PulseAudio</a><br><br></div><div>I've been trying to get my passthrough working in KODI -- I get static like you do unless I disable the passthrough settings. It works with other programs but not with KODI.<br><br>That is, I don't get any errors in Plex Media Player and MythTV, but how can you really tell if you have DTS or not? I guess it either makes static or it works.<br><br></div><div>Hopefully, you will have more luck that I am having with KODI.
