    See here, perhaps it is similar root cause:

    Although it is not so bad now. After applaying all these changes described above it hanged only once and I'm unable to repeat it now. So perhaps this was not a driver problem but something related to NUC power management?

    I enabled more detailed logs:

    Code: advancedsettings.xml
    <advancedsettings>
        <loglevel>1</loglevel>
        <setting id="debug.extralogging">true</setting>
        <setting id="debug.setextraloglevel">128,2048,32768,262144</setting>
    </advancedsettings>

    which generated 200+ MB log file after 2 hours of playing a movie, but perversity of inanimate objects prevented it from more hangs (so far), so nothing really interesting is captured.

    So I updated NUC BIOS to latest #58 version from Aug 24, 2022 and then also switched Power/Dynamic Power Tech to Off.

    And it didn't help, that test MKV still hangs. At least it is consistent (although it is not hanging in the same file position, sometimes it plays 40 min, sometimes 70 min before it hangs).

    I suppose this is a lot of words just to say that this is unknown problem and sorry, no solution out of the box :D

    Here are two logs with two different hangs on the same MKV: debug and default. Both look somehow truncated, not sure why.

    If this is driver issue (as it is my suspicion) you will not find too much in these logs.

    The MKV itself is nothing special:

    So I think it started when I upgraded my NUC to some nightly build in July. Then it still happens with latest smp build from August. I believe it was never happening when I was running previous smp build, which I believe was built somewhere in February?

    What happens is that randomly everything is freezing and the sound starts looping in some 0.2 sec cycle producing strange effect. Randomly means that sometimes nothing happens, sometimes it hangs twice or three times over 2 hours movie. When it happens I can only continue after hard reset.

    Perhaps this is some driver problem. I tried this fix, but it didn't help. Just wondering if this is happening only to me, or anyone else experienced it?

    I'm running now the latest smp build.

    Updated build in post #1.

    So that build I suppose is based on sw dated 2022-08-07. I used previously nightly build as of 2022-08-06 and on NUC 10 it was hanging around every one hour on regular MPEG4/AC3 movies , which was pretty annoing.

    This one is not hanging at all (so far), so I wonder what else is different comparing to regular nighties?

    Problem solved in a trivial way, although I'm not following it :D

    So in all my tests I was using HDMI #1 output device as NUC is connected to AVR over HDMI. And I was considering DisplayPort #0 as the USB-C output which I'm not using (see the attached list of recognized devices). But when I switched it to DisplayPort #0 (just in the LE setup), passthrough streaming started working (see attached example Atmos/DTHD input received in the AVR). And this is just setup change in LE, the physical setup is still the same: [NUC]--hdmi--[AVR]--hdmi--[TV].

    So now all audio formats are working great in passthrough mode but I don't understand why :D Is it a bug or expected feature?

    So here is the log file.

    LE was set to passthrough and I tested these samples:

    1. SampleA-EAC3-JOC - worked fine

    2. SampleB-EAC3-JOC - worked fine

    3. SampleC-AC3 - muted

    4. SampleD-MLP-FBA16 - worked fine

    5. SampleE-EAC3 - worked fine

    6. SampleF-AC3/DTS - muted on AC3 stream, worked fine with DTS stream

    Let me know if you need more.
