Quite often with DTSHD-MA or DD TrueHD there are loud "clicks" sometimes every few seconds, sometimes about once a minute. Without passthrough there are no clicks, but some formats are not handled, like DTS where I get only the core out this way.
I am trying to understand how these audio options are supposed to work and how to debug this problem. Should XBMC be able to decode and transcode (into PCM) all high-res formats, or is passthrough the recommended or only option?
How do these options interact with the various synchronization settings (adjust refresh rate, sync playback, a/v sync method)? Should I try others than the ones recommended in the first post?
Any recommendations are very much appreciated. There are so many knobs to tweak that I need some idea of where to start.

Hi arkadi
Thats exactly the same effects/problems which I have (with similar configuration)
see Post: #1416
Good to hear that I'm not the only one.
Meanwhile I updated to the latest kernel (3.15) and XBMC (nightly build) but this problem still exist with DTS-HD and also Dolby TRUE-HD (tested with demo-file) .
