Almost same here
The only way to hear 5.1 with Android Kodi was to enable "Dolby Digital" in the settings. But as I have some FLAC from DVD-Audio or Blu-Ray, DD is no real option because of the compression.
Passthrough didn`t work for me either, though my Yamaha Receiver can play it in surround.
Besides Android doesn`t work really well, for I can`t get the play store to work and installing new software is a bit kind of annoying...
By the time I tried Ubuntu an Debian, but same here. The sndhdmi is set only to stereo. I am not used to LINUX, so I googled and tried same solutions (i.e. a changing in the etc/pulse/daemon.conf from 2 to 6 channels), but nothing works so far. I only get a stereo signal. In the Debian-Kodi there isn`t even a Passthrough-Option (yes, settings changed to advanced).
