1. update
2. reboot
3. play an mkv that has streams: 1. truhd, 2. dd and 3. dd+
    - it defaulted to dd+ (as i watched it last), no sound, switched to dd no sound, switched to truhd no sound.. leave on truhd)
4. reboot
5. play the same file this time defaulting to truhd and no sound, shifting to DD no sound, shifting to dd+ no sound.. switched back to truhd
6. reboot
7. tried to amixer -c sndhdmi sset "hdmi audio format Function" MAT - i get
   amixer: Unable to find simple control 'hdmi audio format Function',0
8. tried to play a dts hd stream no sound, switched to dd no sound
9. reboot
10. tried to play dd stream no sound..

with this patch i get no passthru with any of the streams

Thanks, it seems that I have to redesign half of hdmi audio driver just to support standard way of setting passthrough...

@jernej:
I'm not much of a developer myself. But when you want me to do some debugging for you, let me know.
It was a bit of a surprise when I found out passthrough is not working (yet) on Orange PI and I would like to help with it as much as I'm capable to do.

It works, but only partially. Only high rate formats like TrueHD don't work. The reason why it doesn't work is driver architecture. I tried to rework it, but I stopped in the middle. I might continue some day.

For the latest git version, DTS-HD soundtrack don't work, the AV Receiver displayed "Multi In", so it means received multi track sound but no any sound.

is there a chance that this feature can be pushed further?

i am using my orange pi's for media center (among other purposes), but i think it will be a killer feature for orange pi if it will have the HD pass through. None of the pi's has it (the raspberry pi is hardware limited), and everybody is seeking this feature, so they can have a pi for a media center.

Maybe I can check a little more if I get some points on how and where to start (meaning directly, files, functions, what to check, change, test, report,...)
