A couple of additional reboots and a power cycle later, 6.2.7.7 is back to normal even with the stick's Surround Sound set to "Best available." While the audio was misbehaving, I was finding the Kodi Exit button was also hanging, which is what was causing me to manually reboot and power cycle, and now that's fixed, too. Weird.
After some research I've discovered I'm not the only one with this problem, hope posting here will yield a solution ! If someone has experienced the same issue and found a solution please share !
Thanks
This release is cursed. I'd posted a few days ago that unlike some others, 6.2.7.6 was still fine with my Pioneer AVR and Matrix beta 1, but 6.2.7.7 forces me to change the stick audio setting to "PCM only" for my Kodi Fixed 7.1 to continue working. Without this, Fixed 7.1 and passthrough either produce no audio or play as PCM for a couple seconds before the video freezes. Moreover, it takes a few seconds for the video to begin to play. Fortunately, making the aforementioned change to the stick settings lets my preferred Kodi 7.1 Fixed work as before, with my AVR showing a constant 7.1 PCM, so I'm still good, at least as far as I've tested, which includes multichannel DTSMA, DTS, TrueHD, DD, AAC, and stereo FLAC.
