Android 14 Breaks Kodi Dolby Audio Playback
A user reports that after updating to Android 14, Kodi on a Homatics Box R Plus 4K fails to play Dolby-based audio formats previously handled on an Nvidia Shield Pro. IEC passthrough causes persistent audio sync loss; RAW mode often freezes or downmixes DDplus, TrueHD, and DTSX to stereo. The user asks whether Kodi developers know and if Kodi 22 will fix it.
