[S912] LibreELEC on Minix NEO U9-H Bitstream digital noise

1st Official Post

    Running LibreELEC on my new U9-H off of a USB key as the micro SD card read does not work currently.

    Video wise it is perfect and it has played every 1080P and 4K file that I have tried.

    The problem is with bitstreaming. Sometimes it works and sometimes all I get is loud digital noise through the speakers. If I stop and start the exact same file it works and sometimes the same digital noise. Doesn’t matter if it is 1080 or 4K. Dolby Atmos or DTS-X. I need the bitstream output to my pre/processor for the height surround channels.

    Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

    I may have to return the unit as it is a dealbreaker in my system if bitstreaming doesn’t work...

    A debug log may help. However, being intermittent it may be hard to capture and analyse.

    The other thing is, perhaps try a different HDMI cable.

    I just tried a Wetek Play 2 with the latest version and it did the exactly the same thing...

    I also changed the cable to a certified HDMI 2.0 cable at the same time.

    My HTPC runs perfectly fine but it is limited to 1080p.

    What else should I check???
