thank you for sharing your setup.
Are you getting 7.1 audio with those settings?

That is a great question and I do not have an answer for you at this time.  While I have 7.1 selected in my settings, I don't have a single file that contains 7.1 audio. The most I have seen in my movie/HDTV recordings has been 5.1 audio.  I will need to try ripping a movie with 7.1 audio....or find a 7.1 audio test file online somewhere.

But at least 5.1 audio works fine?

My current settings / setup for SPMC is listed out below:

• Android: 5.1.1 HDMI image release 20160505 64gb version non-rooted
  
• SPMC build: SPMC 16.3-0 Git:2016-04-30-22df3d0-dirty

• HDMI from Pine64 to Marantz Receiver
  

SPMC Options:
Videos:
     Playback:
         Adjust display refresh rate: On start / stop
         Sync playback to display: Off
     Acceleration:
         Allow hardware acceleration -MediaCodec

System:
     Audio output:
         Audio output device: Android, RAW Passthrough
         Number of channels: 7.1
         Output Configuration: Fixed
         Limit sampling rate (kHz): 48.0
         Stereo upmix: On
         Maintain original volume on downmix: On
         Resample quality: High
         Enable audio DSP processing: Off

Hopefully someone can build off of this and continue to improve the Pine64 media experience.

Hi,
I tried this setup with the last build (5.1.1 2016-10-19) and spmc 16.4.2 from the playstore. I don't have 5.1 surround. How did you do ? When i set "Output Configuration: Fixed", the passthrough option below is hidden. I only can set passthrough "on" with "Output Configuration: Optimized or Best match". When i set the passthrough option ON, i only get crashed sound. Did you tried that setup with updated software like mine since your post ?
