Hi there.

Newbie to Kodi and Nvidia Shield. I bought the box in November and everything worked fine, but the last month or so when I'm playing back FLAC-files I get these irritating drop-outs. One or two-three seconds every 10-45 seconds. The files are all 16/44 to 24/192 and I know that there is not something wrong with the files since they play back fine on the computer or even with an old AC Ryan Mini 2 which is 6-7 years old. I connect it to a Pioneer AMP LX-801 via HDMI.

Can someone please help me with this. I also use SMPC, but it is also the same there.

I also encounter this.
No problem with audio at all when watching movies, no matter which format.
FLAC-audio however drops the audio intermittently for a brief moment, less than a second, then the audio works fine for some time. Can work properly for a complete song, down to just 10 seconds.

Running Kodi 16.7 on a MacMini with HDMI out.
