Seems like the initialisation of the sound stream is a problem.
A video (or overall?) bitrate of 29MB... Not sure if that is a bit over the top for a RPi, but it may not be impossible.
Remember, the GPU on a Raspberry Pi is basically a 2009 mediocre smartphone video chip.
Use a network cable if possible, wifi can be a PITA.

I also noticed that the sound sounds gets distorted when I skip to the next chapter or something like this, but it gets better after like 20 seconds or so. I am not sure where this error comes from, I have 3 different Raspberry Pi's, maybe it is because the Hifiberry is missing on that Raspi but not on it? However I can say I have the problem with all 3 of my Pi's and before it was a lot more stable. If I played the same movie with my old setup from an USB stick it was working perfectly, not anymore.

If sound gets better after 20 seconds then perhaps the RPi has problems catching when it does audio conversions via software. But then again, I'm not an audio expert.

I installed Libreelec 8.1 fresh on another Pi and have the same issue, I can't play this file, it has nothing to do with the Hardware, under Openelec it was running. I dont think this is something I can fix, I just wanted to report it, because I like Libreelec a lot and I think it is important to play those files. And it has nothing todo with the Hifiberry, in the second setup I left it completely out.

I have the same problem, full HD .mkv-files are unplayable now. Settings -> Player Settings -> Videos -> Adjust display refresh rate -> Always improved it, but some movies show a black screen every 2 seconds, the audio is sometimes missing or the file is played with a very low fps. Has anyone else those problems?
