CE does not use 12-bit for 4K/24. Intel does.
Oh well. Intel could at least point us which AVR it used for testing (if any). At the very least it would serve as a starting point for us to begin bothering Denon/Marantz about it.

Go ask them then. I doubt they are using an AVR though, and it shouldn't matter what brand (or whether one is used) as the issue is unlikely to be related to the HDMI display device and more likely to be related to DP to HDMI converter hardware/firmware or some issue or inefficiency in the driver that results in video+audio requiring more bandwidth on the HDMI connection than the current chain provides, resulting in audio dropouts.

I went to an AMD box from an Intel box and problem solved. It wasn't my preferred approach but I got tired of waiting. The Intel boxes I have (NUC 8i7BEH and N100) both work fine with my Yamaha AVR as long as I don't use passthrough audio.

I've been watching this thread for a long time and have had an Intel NUC (8i7BEK)
I back catching up on progress as I just bought another Alder Lake NUC.
The previous one has the software ‘fix’ to limit output to 10bit. Does using the Thunderbolt port fix the audio glitch on Alder Lake?
I had (and still have) a couple of NUC8s but I don’t recall having any Audio dropouts after updating the HDMI firmware on those. Maybe I’m wrong… (I have Denon AVRs)
