Sound system configuration is fine, because it worked well with Raspberry Pi + OSMC (well, there were another things that not worked).

Do you have another microSD for LE on RPi? Then we could compare both logs.

Multiple audio channels can be encoded into two channels, so don't care about it.

Looks like LE doesn't support audio passthrough on your device:

Worked fine on OSMC installed in Raspberry Pi with same files. So AVR should not be a problem (it supports up to 96 kHz and 24-bit).

Thanks for the info! Your AVR is a good one.

I guess we have to dig deeper now...

You have to struggle when trying to compile your own EQ add-on. Nobody will do it for you.

Don't waste your time, and buy a hardware DSP.

Hi! I'm new here, and I've just installed LibreELEC on my old Odroid C2.

Everything works fine except for sound passthrough. While this feautre is disabled, sound works, but only in stereo. If I enable it, at the beginning of every video I hear "crack", and then, if sound is in format accepted by my sound system (selected in Kodi options) there is silence and sound system indicates no digital data, else - if sound has to be converted to other format - sound comes in stereo.

Sound system configuration is fine, because it worked well with Raspberry Pi + OSMC (well, there were another things that not worked).

Any ideas?

I recently had a similar issue with passthrough on RPi3B+. So if your AVR is old, then the issue could be a high sampling rate.

Thanks, then I will also need to provide a log file again, right?

If it doesn't work with LE 11.0.3 either, yes.

10 / 12 bit deinterlacing is a know issue. As a workaround, disable deinterlacing at playback menu (gear icon).

OK, I've tested testfile2.TS on my RPi3B+. I can replicate the issue with my AVR.

The test file has AC3 audio. If your AVR can't play all AC3 streams, you have to edit LE's passthrough setting:

1. go to Settings -> System
2. on the bottom-left, set GUI mode to Advanced or Expert
   
3. go to Audio
4. enable Allow passthrough
5. disable Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver

My AVR has Dolby Digital and DTS, but I guess it can't handle higher sampling rates on Dolby Digital.

11.0.3 is latest. If you can't find it in the menu:

1. login by SSH
2. cd /storage/.update
3. wget https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0.3.img.gz (for RPi4)
4. reboot

Please update to latest LE. I don't think it will fix the issue, but you'll get more attention from devs.

I think you're correct with your analysis, and AirPlay service was killed at some point:

2023-08-03 15:12:12.406 T:1109    debug <general>: AIRTUNES: AirPlay not running - stopping player

I've sent a message to the devs. It seems to be a bug.

Da Flex Sorry, but I thought that I should follow the recommendation of the forum to open a new thread rather than reply to this old one.

That's to avoid discussions about outdated software environments.

Posting the same issue for the same software environment makes no sense.

In your case, the LE updates didn't changed things, so you can stay on the same thread.

Once it occurs again, do I use the LibreElec Log export that gives me an ix.io link? Or is there a different way?

When the issue occurs again, login by SSH, run pastekodi, and post the resulting link.

To avoid the debug HUD, you can also use advancedsettings.xml to activate log level 2.
