I am now experiencing and Audio syncing issue with all movies after upgrading to KODI? I sometimes would have an audio syncing problem with XMBC but it was rare and would just select another movie. I have Tweaked settings on KODI but nothing seems to work? Any suggestions would be great!!

Is the mac is connected directly to the TV, or is there an audio receiver involved? Also, see if you can get us a
debug log (wiki) of when you play a movie that has audio sync issues.

I use a receiver . . My HDMI cable goes from my Mac to my television. I also use another tv and seem to have the same problem without a avr. i will have to research how to do a de-bug log , never did that before. How may I do that?

Refresh rate to video- Always
pause during refresh rate- off
sync playback to display- yes
a/v sync method- drop dupe audio
Number of channels- 2.0
output configuration- Optimized
maintain original volume on downmix- off
resample quality - medium
keep audio device alive- always
play gui sounds always
Getting started on Bug report now. thanks.

You are passthrough in addition right? (you didn't post it but it looks like). In that case disable sync playback to display because drop/dupe/audio is invalid for passthrough.
I'd rather suggest to disable passthrough and instead set the speaker config to 5.1 - so you can get multi channel pcm (i guess your receiver supports it).
So my proposal,
1. disable sync playback to display
2. disable passthrough
3. set speaker config to 5.1

Major improvement with adjustments . I still have minor sync issues but it clears up within 2-3 minutes of playtime. Sometimes it works right on from the start. Either way I am able to watch a movie without a major sync issue like before. I would still like to know what would cause the minor sync issue, is it internet speed or my macbook possibly?
