Thanks Milhouse.

You pointed me in the direction of the logs, so I had a look at the stacks upwards and found reference to a thread each time for waveforhue, which is a visualiser for audio, that was set! I removed it and set to none. Surprise Music now plays through to the amp! I'll try a few other things to check, but I guess that that addon is no good in Kodi 17 or something and crashes the audio player!

Thanks again, any further issues as I'm going to use the box with your builds on as 'live', I'll let you know. I'll continue to update daily as much as possible. Cheers!
