Disabling HDMI pass through

Is your UI in Kodi set to 4K? It is not uncommon for devices with OSD’s to only display when they are outputting lower resolutions (ie not in passthrough mode). Also if your UI is set to 4K and 60hz I don’t think your particular hardware would support that setting and would be expected to not get a signal. Just in case your not aware the following are the recommended settings…

We recommend people with 4K TV’s set their user interface (UI) to 1080p. Kodi’s UI is not optimized for 4K yet and this can put unnecessary demands on your device and can lead to a suboptimal picture quality, as well as potentially cause other issues.

The settings we recommend are as follows…

Settings>System>Display>Resolution> 1920x1080p
Settings>System>Display>Whitelist> (empty) *
Settings>Player>Videos>Adjust display refresh rate> On start/stop

Some televisions may also need, or benefit from, the following being set…

System>Display>Force 4:2:2 colour subsampling> (enable)

With the above settings your UI will be output in Full HD and your 4K content will be output in 4K. *Information regarding the whitelist can be found here. If you have any doubt, feel free to upload some logs so we can verify that your settings are indeed correct.
