I noticed a specific movie file was causing several issued when being played back. I even got an alternative version of the file (that included DV and was posted 3 years later) and reproduced the same issues.
Here are the various symptoms I noticed.
- audio cutting out briefly, I think this is audio skipping
- sound becoming robotic. I need to stop and restart playback for audio to sound normal again
- occasionally playback exiting back to Kodi menu
OS: LibreELEC 12 Beta 2
CPU/GPU: Intel Celeron J4005
Passthrough to AVR: Denon X3700H
File info:
4K HDR Remux of WALL-E (2008) using TrueHD Atmos Track, around 1 hour and 17 minutes

I haven't noticed this on any other 4K Remux movies, so I assume this problem is specific to this movie but may affect others too. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue, either to the MKV or in Kodi/Linux?
I also found this locked thread which I think is related, but it seems people are dealing with the issue on Android. I will test if adjusting "maxpassthroughoffsyncduration" makes any difference.

Thank you!
