Is anyone losing audio after changing channels. It started when I was changing inputs, now it's happening every time I change channels. I have to completely reboot the unit. What source(s) are you using? I've had the audio dropout issues occasionally when using Directv and switching between channels. I don't have to reboot the unit however, most times I just have to either switch back and forth between channels or use the remote to switch between "Preset 1 and Prest 2" to get sound back. I'm on 1.9.1 firmware. |

I'm not sure about when changing inputs in general. And I don't loose the sound entirely.
It's somehow different:
I noticed, when fumbling around in the Setup EQ section (maybe other Setup sections, too), afterwards the audio sounds frequently (but not always) strange. The instruments are mainly as prominent to hear as I am used to, but the vocals are way too low in the background.
They are still there, but it sounds very, very strange.
I then have to reboot the unit and then everything sounds right again.
I experience the same problem, when I saw a movie via my second Raspbery Pi (Kodi, HDMI connected, movie usage only). When then I (next day) want to hear audio/music, I have again this very strange sound. I'm not sure yet if this is always the case, but it happens at least frequently.
So I reboot the unit and afterwards audio/music sounds right again.
An update:
The problem remains (newest firmware is still 1.9), but it is not necessary to boot anew. A simple change of audio inputs (coax 1 to coax 2 and back to coax 1) does the remedy. Plus, it did occur less frequent lastly.
Not audio related but I also experience that the unit freezes completely -- sometimes. It still plays, but does not accept any commands whatsoever. Then the power switch on the back is the only solution.

Not sure if you are following this or not, but some are claiming that having the network port plugged in is causing the slowdowns and lockups. I haven't personally tested removing my cable because I rely heavily on the network api. About every 3 days, I have to shut mine down because it is hosed. Luckily yesterday, it froze up for a bit, but stabilized after a couple mins. |
