This is happening only on Android 12 because with Android 11 the Nova app is able to passthrough multichannel PCM to the AV receiver correctly when the device I use (Realme 4K stick) is also connected directly to the same TV.

There are logs that can be enabled but still need to be retrieved by adb...
Please refer to: https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-AVP/wiki/Debugging and if need be use chatgpt. Many of the issue reporters never used adb before and managed to take the leap of faith.
@branches78, I do not have a EARC TV but I connected a Chromecast Google TV ("sabrina", Android 12) to my Samsung AV receiver via HDMI and with Android 12, nova is able to output multichannel PCM (EAC3, AAC 5.1 sources). I know this is not the same setup as you. Could you please try the same with your Homatics Box R 4K Plus and see if you get multichannel PCM output (i.e. not using passthrough with nova and being sure that downmixing to stereo is not forced in nova settings)? If it does then this is due to EARC for some reasons and we will try to progress from there.
I didn't have to wait until the weekend 🤭
I tested an old version (6.1.6) and it was the same, so I imagine something changed in the firmware of the device that renders the app unable to detect multichannel PCM, the thing is, Emby and Jellyfin are able to passthrough multichannel PCM so Nova should be able to do the same since it uses Exoplayer, correct?
The device is under the november 2023 security patch, however, the Realme stick on Android 11 has a security patch dated october 2023 and it's able to passthrough multichannel PCM as well.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
I was able to get a log where Multichannel PCM it's still getting downmixed to stereo on latest versions of the app, please fix it.
Could you give us the result of
adb shell dumpsys media.audio_policy
?
