Hello,

I have following setup:
HTPC with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, kernel: Linux x86 64-bit version 5.4.0-77-generic
Kodi (19.1 (19.1.0) Git:20210509-85e05228b4). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit
Host CPU: Intel® Core™ i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 4 cores available
Onboard HDMI plugged into ONKYO RT990 Receiver.

Pulseaudio is disabled when starting kodi with startscript:
pasuspender -- env KODI_AE_SINK=ALSA kodi

When I startup KODI everything runs fine. I can play videos with audio via passtrough. After some (random number) videos played the audio stops working. Event GUI sounds are not played any more.
In the logfile I just find following:

suletemibu.kodi (paste)

In addition to that if that happens, I am not able to shutdown KODI at all. It freezes after initiating the shutdown command.
In the logfile I found:

This whole thing did not happen with KODI 18.X

Additional Information:

If Kodi freezes on shutdown, I have to kill it (with killall kodi) After then I can restart it and Audio starts to work again.

The forum moderators have determined that banned addons (wiki) are present on your system. To receive assistance here, these banned items must be removed. If a clean log is not submitted within 3 days, then the relevant post(s) will be removed after this time.

OK. I'll remove the addons and provide log again when it happens.

Thank you.

Next time, just provide the link to the log file. Pasting parts of that same log into the forum is kinda senseless.
We try to keep the forum server as clean as possible, meaning large log/text blobs which are stored infinitely are just not very useful.

Helllo,

So the problem happened again.
Here is the log before the shutdown command was initiated:
https://paste.kodi.tv/adonejoduk.kodi

Here is the log after the shutdown command:
https://paste.kodi.tv/dehaxapojo.kodi

I can unterstand but I just wanted do show the relevant parts of the logfile.

So I am still having this problem. I already replaced the ONKYO receiver as it was broken (with the same model) but I have still the same problem.
Sometimes I can watch 5-7 videos. Sometimes just one video and the audio is broken afterwards.

For some strange reasons I'm not able to open the links you provided. So I can't see the logs. Maybe someone else is able to. 

But I have to admit that I'm seeing similar problems using LibreELEC on my AVR. Can you please confirm that after the video stops, the AVR still shows the same as if the video would be playing (in meaning showing the audio codec the movie had...DolbyDigital, DTS, DTS-HDMA or whatever)? Or does the AVR show "DolbyProLogic" instead?

My solution, as LibreELEC is running Kodi as a systemd service, to create a shortcut to the shutdown menu which simply restarts the Kodi service. As you are on Linux, you could do something similar: 

https://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_built-in_...ilt-in.27s

RestartApp

Just use that: https://termbin.com/1k48
and replace it with the content of DialogButtonMenu.xml



Works like a charm. It will restart Kodi within a few seconds. 

That just to mention if your problem won't be solved.

Pastes on Kodi.tv are removed after 60 days.
If you want something permanent, use pastebin.com .

Ha....haven't looked at the date  

Thought this was recently created.

When the video, that played fine with sound, ends (or is stopped manually) the AV Receiver Display will clear and switch to "Stereo" (but it does the same way if the problem does not occur).
After that the sound does not work anymore.
Even the GUI sounds do not work.

I'll activate debug logging again and provide a new log if it happens.

What I recognized, is that when a video stops and the problem does not occur, the switching to "Stereo" in the Display of the AV Receiver is done quite fast (1 second).
If the problem occur the switching to "Stereo" in the Display takes about 3-4 seconds.

I do something similar regarding restarting.
I wrote a "restart script" that is executed when pressing a button on the remote. This will kill kodi and start it up again.
Restarting Kodi like your script wouldn't be possible, because as mentioned above KODI will freeze when a normal Exit is triggered.
Only force killing KODI and restarting fixes the issue.

I already tried to update to the latest version of Ubuntu but nothing helped yet.

I didn't have this problem at all with Kodi 18.x so after upgrading to Kodi 19.x it happened the first time.
