Rasplex on the Pi will send 7.1 channels of Audio over HDMI, either passed through natively or as LPCM. More information here: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/181255/rasplex-guide-to-audio-settings-updated This is basic required functionality for any media player and it does work well. I don't use Kodi but this is from the Kodi Wiki: http://kodi.wiki/view/Raspberry_Pi_FAQ#Video_and_audio_formats_the_Raspberry_Pi_can_playback 1.8 How about multichannel audio support? By default audio is downmixed to stereo. If your receiver/TV supports DTS or AC3 passthrough then enable these in audio settings and you will get 6 channel audio. Multichannel PCM audio is supported over HDMI. Note: not all receivers support this and toslink/optical will not. Enable by setting the speaker configuration to suitable value (e.g. 5.1 or 7.1). If your recevier does not support multichannel PCM, then leave this at 2.0. You can still get multichannel audio through passthrough. So for sure it can be done.
