I am going to do some more extensive testing this weekend. Which version should I test? The latest nightly?

hi all. Is there an update on this so we can test ?

A new testbuild with improvements for HD audio dropout issues is available here: RE: Nightly builds Rpi4 Audio passthrough TrueHD/Master HD not working (huge stutter) anymore - please continue discussion in the linked thread so posts aren't scattered around too much.

thanks for letting us know. Will continue the discussion there.

The dropouts have almost disappeared but are still there. To reproduce you need to play the audio sample several times to make it happen. In movies that are by definition longer in length this is more apparent.

update:

I can reproduce this with a dts hd ma audio sample and hardware acceleration enabled

spooker thanks for the heads up, I had a look at the log but unfortunately nothing was logged in the ~30sec where you played the video (which isn't your fault but makes it tricky to find out what's going wrong).

Can you try disabling hardware acceleration in settings->player->video (you may need to change settings level to expert to see this option) and test if audio is played fine?

I have seen audio drop-outs with passthrough in the past when using H264 hardware decoding, but last time I checked was before the recent H264 seek changes. Still it would be good to know if audio with software decode instead of hardware decode is fine.

Edit: ah, and it would be great if you could reproduce the issue with some publicly available sample (and post a link) or upload a short sample file so we can try to reproduce it locally.

so long,

Hias

Thanks for the fast response Hlias.
I added a second log in
DTS-HD-MA pass-through is choppy in Kodi 19 [LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.80-nightly-2020122]

I disabled hardware acceleration like you suggested and yes this seems to fix the issue.
I will try some tests with some DTS-HD demo samples and hardware acceleration enabled to see if I can reproduce this and report back. In the meanwhile if you have any location with audio samples that you actively use please point me to it.
Thanks

I believe I have found a problem with dts hd passthrough
I have created a post in the kodi forum

I was wondering if I should have posted this in this forum.
