I have a couple of Blu-ray Discs that I've recently ripped and the TrueHD 7.1 track produces no sound when selected in the XBMC player. I have XBMC set to pass these through to an Integra 7.1 receiver.
I thought at first it might just be that the Integra couldn't decode that format. But I have Star Trek Into Darkness that also has TrueHD 7.1 and it plays fine both in XBMC and from the actual disc.
One thing is that both the movies that have these tracks that won't play - Mad Max Fury Road and San Andreas - were Redbox rentals. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I've ripped other 7.1 formats from redbox rentals that work okay I think.
If anyone has any ideas on this I'd love to hear them.

They're both ATMOS, is that idea enough?
MediaInfo doesn't detect ATMOS yet, but both MakeMKV and EAC3To should show you which is which.
I don't think a program to strip ATMOS/DTS:X elements from TrueHD/DTS-MA exists, so it may be best to convert the track to FLAC or something else.

I think you may need to upgrade to the newest version of Kodi if you want those movies to play.
