I'm guessing this is a problem with a recent build, as I started noticing this in the past week or so.

There is a loud POP when certain tracks begin playing. The files are m4a audio, I've listened to them many times before, and I can play them now using VLC via an NFS share without the POP.

I'm running the latest 19.0+git20190502.0203-b0f9314-0bionic on a Ubuntu Linux 18.04 server.

The audio comes out of the HDMI port, which is attached by a cable to a stereo amp.

The selected audio output device is "HDA Intel PCH, BNQ benQ PJ on HDMI #0". "Allow Passthrough" is disabled. "Crossfade between songs on the same album" is enabled.

Any suggestions?

A debug log of playing with "pop" may be useful. Even more would be if you could identify which v19 nighty this issue starts happening with.

Here's the log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HYT.../

I'm not sure how to identify which version this started with. I usually update to the latest build every day or two, and I first noticed this problem within the past week.

Do I need to provide any other information...?

Sorry for silence, nothing obvious to me in that log this needs a PAPlayer expert to dig deeper (and finding someone wth time takes time).

But it looks like it could have been caused by this https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/15980, and therfore is fixed by https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16061

Perhaps try the next v19 nightly.

Thanks! I'll try the next v19 build, test it, and report back. Smile

Okay, I've updated to the latest 19.0+git20190506.0203-2eef5af-0bionic build, and the loud popping sound is no longer happening.

Marking this thread solved !!
