For me the thread September update breaks 5.1 Audio is extreme puzzling where a few people talk about different sound problems with no concrete data like logs and there are even users fighting with their local environment but not with an issue by the OSMC player. This thread seems to be the root cause of the general uncertainty but with current state of information it is valid to question what are real and what are phantom problems in that thread.
