"On all MKV files I have tested with AC3 or DTS tracks, there is a hissing static noise every 2 or 3 seconds."
^^ that's because Vissontech does not have a license to decode ac3 or dts and the audio dsp fimware files are 'crippled' with repeating one second of static every 2 second of audio. In the past, things were a little lose on getting the correct firmware files, however, now, AmLogic cannot release a patch for this as it would violate their licensing with DD (ac3) and DTS. And since the firmware files MUST match code in the kernel, it is un-wise to mix and match firmware files to different kernels.
USB ports can only supply 500mA of power, period. If your external disk exceeds this, it's not a USB port problem.
