At random times audio streams in the Dolby TrueHD format seems to drop for just a second and then correct itself. This happens a few times during a movie. Usually 4-6 times. Never at the same timestamps.
I tried this with Kodi 19.4 (play store), Kodi 20, alpha and nightly builds. And now I have tested Maven's builds which all give the same sound drops as described above. However, Kodi 20 is noticeably better.
Kodi settings:
Audio passtrough enabled. Output device: AudioTrack (IEC)
Disabling the passtrough would mean my setup isn't getting surround at all. So it needs to be on.
Shield settings:
Match content audio resolution: on
Play Comfort Noise on HDMI: Off
Dolby Audio Processing: Off
Setup:
Nvidia Shield (2019 Pro) > LG DSP9YA (+ SPK8S) > TV
Cables are certified HDMI 2.1 cables.
Tested the original 4K disks, and they have no audio drops. So that rules out my sound setup, I think.
Is this a Kodi bug, or is it my Shield? Shield is firmware: 9.11 (also happened with 9.1 and 9.0) Would reverting to v8.2.3 help?
Paste is from a Maven Build. Hope you don't mind:

If any more info is needed, I'll gladly give it. Since this is driving me bonkos.
