I have an LG G3 and an Ugoos AM6B+ directly connected by a brand new 6.5 ft. Zeskit Maya HDMI cable. The problem is that I get the Dolby Vision/Atmos notification popup at random times on the tv. This only happens with Audio Passthrough enabled. So I have it disabled for the time being. But this is a workaround. Passthrough should work. I don’t know if this is an LG problem or a CoreElec problem. I am on the official CoreElec current update. Any insight would be great. TIA.
edit: I guess I should ask, should my tv be able to do the Atmos enabled setting? If I enable the AC3 settings only, I get dolby audio and no problems. It says my tv does Atmos, but I am thinking there are different “carriers” for it? And it may not be compatible? Is that correct?
The G3 is capable of passing through lossless audio correctly.
I have a G3 and a Cube 2 running CE-NG - more or less the same as an AM6B+ (also own one of those too). When I first got the Cube 2 I had it connected to the G3 with the TV’s HDMI audio set to passthrough and everything worked fine including Dolby Vision and both DD+/TrueHD with Atmos.
Signde, I don’t have that setting available right now on my tv. It is greyed out and I cannot change it. It is set to Auto. Maybe that’s the problem? I think it is because I am using the tv speakers and not eArc. Were you using the tv’s speakers? And did you enable everything under the passthrough setting in Kodi? I know the speakers in the tv do Atmos, I have used them in other situations with other devices, such as the nVidia Shield.
On a side note, I did a factory reset on my tv last night to no improvement.
I may have solved the problem by migrating to the device storage. I am watching the movie that gave me issues first and no problems so far (17 or so minutes in).
