It seems like Chrome has it's independent audio settings. You could search for audio config files inside the Chrome add-on folder.

Another approach is to install the "Kodi Audio Mixer" add-on and try to find the right fader for Chrome.

I haven't found a solution for analogue audio delay. You can delay A/V separately on HDMI, but you can't speed it up.

Alsa has a playback buffer size option, which could create a fitting delay, but I'm not familiar with it.

For electronic people, it could be easier to build a hardware analogue audio delayer for a couple of bucks.

Or buy an HDMI audio extractor with analogue output. That output will be in-sync, and has better quality than RPi analogue audio.

You can do key mapping by creating /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml. Example:

<keymap>
    <global>
        <remote>
            <red>VolumeDown</red>
            <green>VolumeUp</green>
        </remote>
    </global>
</keymap>

There are some remote control apps, like Yatse, who can transfer files, too.

To my knowledge RPi Bluetooth is still broken, so better use other transfer options.

Any release date planned?

No.

PS: If you want to use your smartphone as remote control, install an app like Yatse or official Kodi remote.

English language only please.

It's easier not to stream via Bluetooth. Use direct playback add-ons instead: "LibreSpot" for Spotify and "Tubed" for YouTube.

Actually the /storage sub-folder doesn't matter, because it's all about the way to include the libs at the Python script. Do this:

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/userdata/<PATH-TO-YOUR-PYTHON-LIB-FOLDER>')

The benefit of the /storage/.kodi/userdata folder is that it's part of the LE backup strategy.

LE uses add-ons by default, so search at the repos first. Other package managers are not available by design. However, some users install docker packages. Maybe that's an option for you.

Please describe your hardware, your LE version and your goal.

Activate debugging at GUI (HUD will appear on top), try to start a video, login by SSH and call pastekodi. Post the resulting link here.

Hey jazzl!

What happens if you do this on SSH: amixer -c 0 set Digital 80%?

This line has been taken from the official HiFiBerry doc, so it's actually common knowledge for all HiFiBerry users.

Can I just delete advancedsettings.xml with no problem?

Yes.

I think your changes at config.txt and advancedsettings.xml don't solve the problem, so I suggest to remove both.

You have two choices now:

a) Update to the latest LE nightly as often as you can, and hope for HD audio improvements.

b) Re-rip your videos to non-HD audio.

I had a look at your latest log. It says you are using dtsHD:

2021-02-16 16:10:06.544 T:473310064    INFO: CAEStreamParser::SyncDTS - dtsHD (core) stream detected (6 channels, 48000Hz, 16bit BE, period: 512, syncword: 0x41a29547, target rate: 0x18, framesize 2080))

Because HD audio isn't highly optimized on LE yet, I think you have to wait for an LE update with better HD audio implementation. Keep using the latest LE nightly, if you wish.

If you re-rip to a non-HD audio format, it could solve it.

I did notice something I haven’t seen. When trying to play the John Adams HBO Mini Series MKV rips and even some of the Enterprise episodes I have tested with in the past it causes LibreElec to reboot and go back to the load screen. Never seen that before. Once it boots back up I click on them again and they play as normal. What could be causing this?

If your current advancedsettings.xml solves the original issue, disable (comment out) force_turbo=1 at config.txt.

If the reboot issue persists after this, open a new thread and provide a log file (pastekodi link) with debugging enabled on GUI.

Is buffer underrun related to what you referred to as the network buffer and the underrun in my log?

Yes, that's what I get from your log level 0 file. You can increase the log level, if you activate logging at GUI, and then use pastekodi.

Anyway, tell me the results of your new settings first. This should do something.
