I recently switched from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 while also switching from AMD to an NVidia 970 GPU. While that happened I also upgraded to Kodi 18. After that I can no longer play HD audio with smooth video playback. Now it seems to lag and stutter enough to make it unwatchable. I've tried googling a bit, but there's just so much out there that it can be hard to find exactly the issue I'm having. The issue may seems to be caused by the switching of display refresh rate needed to get passthrough because without it everything is fine, but then of course I won't get passthrough.
Is this a known issue with a simple fix?

If you disable kodi's DTS-HD capability in the settings, everything is smooth or still the issue with that file?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Not sure if this is relevant, but after I enabled debug I can see the FPS and when playing the video it hovers around 59.5 and 60.5, but I believe the video is actually 24fps or around there as is usual for movies.
