DTSHD-MA or TrueHD 7.1

Morning guys,

i have had a look through the forums and cant seem to find an answer to my query. I have just purchased the T8s and using Kodi on both Android and Openelec. I have set up my folders to share from my NAS without any problem but I cannot figure out how to get the audio to output the formats as per my thread title. I have a file that does show as having 7.1 DTS on screen when playing but when i go into the audio option there is only 5.1 which streams as PCM. Files with Dolby 5.1 play correctly.

I am using a Yamaha RX V675 which does support the format.

I have tried via HDMI and optical but have had no joy on either connection, just to rule out the NAS i put the same file onto a portable hard drive but still get the same thing.

Ideally I would like to sort this on the Openelec OS and get 7.1 through Optical

any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi David,

the file i tried is one i have on a hard drive and not streamed and it does contain DTSHD-MA 7.1

this was one of the reasons i purchased this box as when i used the online chat prior to purchasing, i was told it will output 7.1 When i play the file in Kodi it shows as being DTS Master HD and 7.1 on the graphics so it is picking the fact up, but the box wont output this.
