Beta2 has some Audio quirks that were not present in Beta1.
Both Beta1 and Beta2 builds were built fresh (not upgraded) from LiveCD and put on USB sticks and used on the same PC (ASUS T3-M2NC51PV, AD 1888-B audio chipeset, using the S/PDIF OUT on PC to a recent receiver (less than 2 years old, has s/pdif inputs and hdmi,etc...)).
In Beta1, I never had an issue with the Audio S/PDIF OUT. I would boot Beta1, my receiver would register the audio channel on the front display (usually a small PCM light would flash on) and I would get all menu noises, all media would have audio etc.
In Beta2, I boot up and I do not get the PCM light on the receiver. Some media files that played flawlessly in Beta1 would have no audio output in Beta2. Oddly, some media files did have audio, I will attempt to analyze which ones do and which ones didn't once I get back home and post the results. I didn't get any menu noises at all.
