U22-XJ Audio Passtrough

Hi,
Tried Coreelec on my U22, from USB boot and also from Dual boot mode and successfully played files with Dolby Digital through JBL 5.1 Soundbar but Kodi is very unstable and freezes a lot while playing all kind of videos, even small files with low resolution and stereo mp3 audio
Any thoughts for the instability?
Thanks

CoreElec works fine for me on the U22-XJ, I now have it instaled to emmc but did previously from SD Card.

If you dont want to install to emmc then suggest you use an SD card as others have reported issues with USB, as did I.

What format are the problematic files, i.e. are they SD (or older Xvid/Divx) with mp3 or AAC audio? (Are H.264/265 seemingly perfectly OK?)

Try disabling HW acceleration for the files you're having issues with & enable it again for everything else that typically behaves. (Seems to be a Kodi issue with Amlogic in my experience as the same files work fine on another platform such Windows but they're also an issue with other devices such as a U9-H as well.)
 
@pusb87, I already tried CoreElec installed to emmc (dual boot) with same behaviour.
@ArcticWolf, I will try with more, at the time all were H264: some 720x360 and AAC Audio; others 1920x1080 and EAC3 Audio; freezing is very randomly regarding the when (start or middle of playback and sometimes never).
Same files works fine in Kodi on Android mode.

Thanks to both for the replies.

No problem, give things a try & see what happens :).

To eliminate the possibility too, what happens if you play the same files still using the U22 in exactly the same way but without the soundbar & the U22 directly connected to your TV as well? (I suspect it'll still do the same thing in all probability but unfortunately, it's not an impossibility.)

Found the problem and filling a little dumb... it's from reading media files from USB Pen drive, no problem in Android mode with same pendrive... Currently don't have another USB3.0 pen but I will buy one to try it out. Would be there so huge differences in how USB I/O is treated between CoreElec and Android?
So far all works well reading files from network share (even wifi!).
Thanks!
