I have had an issue that has been persistent for several years and I have been unable to understand the cause or find a solution.
Issue:
Whenever I turn on the Preamp/Amp/Projector, the pass-through audio is distorted. If I reboot the HTPC, the audio is restored and works flawlessly, unless I power on/off the rest of the system.
- distortion noticeable on default kodi navigation sound, audio freq shifts up and crackle distortion
- distortion present if trying to play media
- Reboot system after Preamp/Amp/Projector are power up and audio is corrected

HTPC:
- Intel I3-7100
- Gigabyte GA-H270M-DS3H Motherboard
- 16GB DDR
- Silverstone ST455F Power Supply
- ADATA Premier 600 64GB SSD
- Clean install of LE10 RC5 Build currently loaded (Same issue with last 5 versions of LE9)
- All format for audio set to pass-through
- No audio plugins added beyond base install with LE image
System:
- HDMI from HTPC to Anthem AVM60
- 1000BaseT Ethernet from HTPC to Cisco SG200-18 Switch
- All Media on Server Connected to Cisco Switch (Proxmox Server, NFS Share)
- DB on Server Connected to Cisco Switch (MariaDB CT on Proxmox Server)
I believe there is something going on with the ALSA setup but despite several attempts over the years I have not been able to correct this. My hope was it would be corrected with Kodi 19 (LE10) but right now I am not seeing any change. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
