I have two consistent problems with sound on my Pi. I've only noticed them while using the PVR add-on IPTV Simple, but that might be because ~90% of my viewing is spent there. I'm only using IPTV Simple to play OTA streams from an HDHR4-2US network tuner. Playing files stored on my network seems fine. The two issues are:
Any help would be appreciated.
Relevant specs:
- Sound intermittently cuts out. This happens at least every-other day, usually on a channel change. When the sound gets cut-off, it appears to be system-wide. Exiting and entering the add-on doesn't fix the problem nor does trying local-playback. The only fix I've found is a reboot.
- Entering the EPG on a 720p channel causes the audio to stop/start every 10 seconds, like the playback is running out of buffer. Only audio can be heard in the EPG view, but the video also seems to be affected. Re-tuning the original channel causes the (now delayed) video to speed-up to the live feed. If you stay in the EPG for >30 seconds and re-tune into the original channel, the video/audio will sometimes freeze. 1080i and 480i channels are fine. Deinterlace video = auto. Deinterlace method = auto select.
Any help would be appreciated.
