Hello.
I bought the Zidoo X6 Pro and I have this problem:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Ob7si6oGk

The problem ALSO HAPPENS on my HiMedia Q5 when I turn VOLUME UP/DOWN

These problems ONLY happen with HDMI passthrough.

on Zidoo X6 Pro it happens when I switch HDMI inputs on my receiver.
The HDMI passthrough changes to PCM and I hear a HORRIBLE STATIC noise that I can barely tolerate.

Today I realized that with my HiMedia Q5 when I enable passthrough, the problem also happens if I turn the volume of the box UP/DOWN.

However, on my HiMedia Q5 if I switch the Yamaha RX-A1050 input to HDMI 1 and then to HDMI 2 once again, the static noise doesn't happen.

that only happens on the Zidoo X6 Pro.

1) Has anybody else experience this noise?
2) Has anybody found a cause for this?
3) Has this issue been resolved previously?

Thanks so much for your responses.

Is this Kodi related or more of a hardware issue?

HDMI-CEC?

I disabled HDMI Control. Still having the problem

Ok but the problem happens in Zidoo X6 Pro as a matter of fact the problem in HiMedia Q5 ONLY happens if I change the volume.

Please let's try to help each other just tossing the ball (so to speak) isn't going to help.

This is an KODI problem with passthrough affecting numerous devices.

Link firmware 1.0.20 for test? Thanks

[hdmkv]

You need to join the beta test group in Zidoo's forum & PM mirror. This thread should really be closed as the official firmware is already 3 iterations behind, and much of what's in this thread is no longer relevant.

Support HD audio since v1.0.15

Thank you for the clarification. How is the HD audio sent? Bitstream?

I've been keeping my eye on this product (not currently an owner) waiting for if/when majority of the bugs were worked out.

Again, thanks for the continued support of the product.
