This may seem like a stupid question, but where is the best place to post troubleshooting questions for these OpenElec builds?

I am using the 6.0.98-fritz build on an Asus Celeron chromebox. Sometimes, seemingly at random, when I change between different video streams {for example changing directly from a live tv stream to a video on my NAS box) the audio in Kodi disappears and can't be restored without a reboot.

I've thought about posting at the Openelec forums but it seems really quiet over there and not terribly active. I would post here at the Kodi forums, but I'm not sure where the best place would be to do it for such a specialised build (plus it is Openelec, not pure Kodi).

Any recommendations?

Cheers, Rich

You are not alone, this is happening to me as well. I have the same hardware and same build. Luckily it rarely happens, and I have not been able to "catch it" with debug on. I have my audio output and passthrough output set to "HDA Intel, MEI Panasonic-TV on HDMI #0". Its connected to a Yamaha Rx-A1020 receiver ---> TV. What happens is, randomly, oftenly when switching rapidly between video files the audio dies. If I go in to setup and check I can see that the output and passthrough output has been changed to "HDA Intel on HDMI #0" (without the Panasonic TV part). And checking the options the output "HDA Intel, MEI Panasonic-TV on HDMI #0"is missing. A reboot is the only thing that helps. Not sure whats going on, maybe something with the handshake? But if handshake was borked wouldnt the picture/video also disappear?

Having the same issue. Almost same config as you. Fristch 6.0.98, Panasonic VT60 plasma, Yamaha RX-A820. Happened twice in past 2 days. Restarted kodi and it fixed it.
