Currently upgrading to a shield pro.
I've been having some issues with Matrix 19.1 (the audio side)...so I downgraded to 18.9 -> Figured that out.
My problem is the Audio Setting under System>Audio>audio decoder...
Now...19.1 has two choices...1 - Android IEC Packer...2 - Kodi IEC Packer (Recommended). I used the 2nd one (Kodi IEC Packer because it is recommended) and it keeps dropping out and reverting to the Android one. Once this has happened, the choice is no longer selectable in the GUI and I have to exit Kodi to bring it back ( I have a thread about this (Still no reply.) (Further -> this happens to the passthrough setting as well -> that is...they both change.)
So I thought I would downgrade to 18.9 (A lot of shield people are saying theirs is butter smooth), so seemed like a reasonable thing to do.
However, once I had 18.9 installed, I found that the audio decoder setting is greyed out (unselectable) (set for the Android one) and there is NO other option to select anything else.
So my questions are this...
1 -> what setting are you using here? (Is the Android one the only one available in 18.9?? What about 19.1 -> which one are you using)
2 -> Are there any settings in the Shield side menu that affect what Kodi does with it's audio??
Really appreciate any help you can offer. Many thanks.
