I've read through and searched and I can't find anything specifically detailing how the hearing loss issue actually shows up. I am doing the transcoding over optical with my FireTV and am still considering the "shitty build".
With the old workaround, do you actually hear a noise suddenly that will cause damage or is there some background noise that can't be detected that damages your hearing? I've been using XBMC/Kodi for a long time and I haven't ever noticed a noise problem. Would I be able to detect such a problem? Thank you

Thank you, I understand. I suppose that the warning is more for people using headphones. Viewing through a television with speakers shouldn't be a concern.

No - it's for people without headphones. As with headphones there is no (fake) passthrough.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Firmware bug. Nothing I can do.

If it's S905 and Android 5 - everything should be fine. If it's S905 and the prebaked, home cooked, never meant serious old and outdated v6 release - it's bad.
