I would suspect you are hearing things. Try playing the same file with a desktop media player such as MPC-BE and use the internal audio renderer. Does this noise still persist? If so, it could be some fault of LAV Filters. But I don't think LAV Audio is doing anything suspicious with the audio that Kodi wouldn't also be doing.

As I said, it does not occur with MPC-HC desktop media player, only in DSPlayer itself. I just found out that if the audio is HD (I.e. TrueHD, or DTS-HD, or higher), the noise only occurs for about 10 seconds, with any other type of audio (i.e. AAC, or DD, or DD+, etc.), it occurs all throughout, except pure audio files, such as FLAC. I also confirmed the noise with a friend and they could also hear it. It makes Kodi unwatchable.
I don't get it. Both DSPlayer and MPC-HC use the same audio renderer, Sanear, so the result should be the same. Maybe try updating the internal copy of LAV Filters as per the instructions towards the end of this post:

have you tried a seperate portable install with default settings to rule out a corrupt install.

Where would the link to the portable install be?

There is no separate portable installation. The regular installation has to be started with "-p" parameter ("kodi.exe -p")
I tried a new, clean, portable installation and the issue still occurs. I wonder what it is.

- Is keep audio alive off / send low volume noise disabled?
MADVR player settings in KODI:- Did you remember to update the LAV filters in:
KODI INSTALL FOLDER\system\players\dsplayer\LAVFiltersCopy these directly from you windows program files LAV filter install, these should always be up to date ideally.- Have you tried system rendered instead of sansear, or even reclock just to see if it goes away?
- Audio filters / have you turned off / on bitsteaming?
- Make sure use DTS-HD for all DTS types is disabled
Can you record it so we can hear it?
Switching the system audio from WASAPI to DirectSound did nothing.
I have tried turning off the keep audio alive and send low audio signal, but they had no effect.
I updated LAV, but it did nothing.
I switched DSPlayer from Sanear to the system default, tried both WASAPI and DirectSound, but the sound still occurred. I have not tried ReClock yet.
Turning off bitstreaming also had no effect.
DTS-HD for all DTS types was already off.
Here's a link to an audio clip that I recorded:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5zmpw75enarvgp...1.m4a?dl=0
Interestingly, the sound only occurs in the surround left and surround right speakers of my 11.1 setup.
bloody hell thats a really odd sound indeed, does it stop if you drop down to a 5.1 or 7.1 setup, could be an issue with 11.1 support, very few people have this setup, might not be compatible with DSPLAYER.

Thanks, happy to try it out. Nice to see any enhancement at this point.
I decided to try a new, clean install of Kodi 18.4 with MPC-HC as an external player, and, to my surprise, the noise was still there. So, I closed Kodi, tried MPC-HC on its own, and guess what? No noise.
So, I have to conclude that Kodi is interfering with the signal somehow. I turned off GUI sounds, keep audio device alive, send low volume signal, all off. I even changed the audio device to something else. Still the noise persists.
Now I'm in a quandary. Any suggestions?

if its not KODI DS then i'd log it on the main forum, you'll get greater coverage there, KODI DS is a much smaller subset of KODI users.
I wonder... if the arrival of python 3 will signal the end of scrapers for Kodi DSPlayer, what's the best external solution available currently? Anyone has any experience with those solutions? I refer to the ones creating .nfo files, poster.jpg, fanart.jpg, etc.
