Glad it fixed it for you guys, too. Hopefully it doesn't mess up other stuff but so far I haven't noticed anything besides trying to play lossless formats.

I have the Denon AVR E300 and don't get a constant static noise like you describe. Though I have seen some reviews say there was a problem with DD or DD+ that produced static. They released a firmware update in March. Are you able to update your AVR to see if it was effected by that issue?

Yeah, problem is that Denon has never released a FW update for the 391. I know that there were FW issues with these models, which needed factory repair, but since I have never really had an issue I thought that I bought mine after there was a fix since I haven't had any issues until I started using Android and even then with my MX2 (on it's original FW) I didn't have an issue. This just cropped up on it recently (even on Linux), as well my Ouya has always suffered from the same thing and now the AFTV, although each has varying degrees of the same issue.

Thanks, though like I said (and as much as I'd hate having to) it may just be time to upgrade to a newer model or different brand.

It shouldn't. I got a real old receiver Denon 2307 and don't get the constant static noise either. Was just the pop which is now gone!

I thought android didn't pass through the HD audio formats anyway?

Thanks for the confirmation, at least it doesn't seem to be Denon specific. It would be nice to know if anyone with the same model as mine, or with 591 or 791 has the same issue since they are in the same family.

I don't think anyone said anything about HD audio. If you're referring to my statement about TrueHD+AC3 not defaulting to DD, what I mean it that my vids encoded with TrueHD also have the DD track, and the TrueHD track has the flag for the DD. On XBMC for Ouya it would default to passing through the DD track. With Gotham, at least on AFTV, it appears to just downmix the TrueHD track to stereo.

But most Android devices do not pass-through HD audio, and I only know of one that claims to, the VidOn.me AV200.
