No Audio until button press

To start, AWESOME WORK!

I am using Libreelec in a virtual machine on Unraid with a gpu passed through. The only issue I am having is the audio will not play while a video is playing until I hit a button. The navigation sounds work as expected. I have checked the audio settings but have not found anything that alters the symptoms. The symptoms were not present with OpenELEC.

Example:

Play Movie, video plays fine but no audio is played. Press "Ok" and audio starts
Play Video Addon (HDHomerun as example), Audio does not start until I press a few buttons. Typically back and an arrow key will get it to start.

I can get some logs when home later, but was curious if anyone else has experienced this issue. I have 2 virtual machines with the same issue and same GPU (PNY GT730). One is connected to a monitor and the other is connected to a reciever (both HDMI).

Not sure why that would happen really, perhaps set the option "keep audio device alive" to "always"

Regardless, a kodi debug log may help.

Thanks. I tried that and it didnt seem to make a difference. During the log attached, I opened the HDHomerun app and a local tv show. Both started without audio until I hit the 'back' button on the remote.

Sorry, just getting back to this. I had to change the Audio Output Configuration to Fixed instead of Optimized.
