??? This is really confusing me now. How can it work in 'non-pass through output' ??

Can you please clarify what you mean by the above?

Well, I can select the hifiberry as the output device in system/audio. As long as I disable passthrough, Kodi, as I assume, transforms the Dolby or dts signal to a digital stereo signal and outputs it to my soundbar (which physically is a 2.1 system) through the optical output of the hifiberry card. This works in any case.
