Sound cuts when any audio is playing

Hi everyone!
I have this very annoying problem: While any audio is playing from my Minix Neo-X8H+, sound is muted for half a second every now and then (every 20s or so..).
Whether it’s Youtube, KODI, VLC.. The problem is the same. So I guess it’s not an app related problem.

Here’s a quick video on Youtube I made to illustrate this issue:

My Minix is plugged to my amplifier through HDMI, then the amplifier is linked through HDMI to the TV (Amplifier YAMAHA RX-V475).

I noticed this problem when I upgraded my Minix to KOT49H.20170119 firmware (my current version).

I tried to understand when these micro-cuts happen, and it seems to be more frequent when we move from almost a silent part to when audio is resuming. But random “snaps!” also occur..
Also, when I plug earphones through micro jack, then unplug them, the problem almost disappears (less frequent “snaps!”).

So what do you think guys? What am I missing here?

When I check if any update is available from Minix setting, it says “your firmware is up to date”.
Maybe I should do a manual update? Then where to find a stable new one for X8H+?

Thank you for your help!
