I wonder if you can help me out.
I struggle with passthrough audio stutter from DD AC3 files. No issues with the picture.
No issues with Atmos or DTS. I looked at older topics but could not find a good solution.
Settings are as provided by ArcticWolf
U9-H's settings --> Sound settings --> Set the following...
DRC Mode --> Line
DTS Drcscale --> SOUND0, (0%, alter if DTS very quiet).
Digital Sounds --> Auto detection, (should auto set to HDMI passthrough. If it's set to PCM, try manually setting Auto detect or manually set HDMI). Everything should work by HDMI alone & you shouldn't need to connect via additional TOSLINK/Digital coax cables.
Sound Devices --> Input devices - Auto, & Output devices - HDMI.
If you're also using Kodi, depending on your previous hardware & set up you may need to make some adjustments there too.
Enter Kodi's Settings --> Sytem Settings --> Audio. Most importantly, scroll down to the Audio Passthrough settings.
Allow passthrough - Enable. (Then go down the available list, all being well enable the following)....
Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver
Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) capable receiver
DTS capable receiver
TrueHD capable receiver
DTS-HD capable receiver
Otherwise, you may also want to adjust these settings too & you can leave the rest at their defaults...
Number of channels - Set to total number of speakers, (i.e. if 5.1.2 then set 7.1).
Maintain original volume on downmix - Disabled
Stereo upmix - Disabled
Output Config - Best match
Keep audio device alive - 2 mins
Send low volume noise - Enable
Finally, under Kodi's player settings, ensure that the "sync playback to display" option is definitely disabled.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
