No sound and stuttering live tv after july and august update (vnsi client)

No, it also works when I now downgrade to the May or July version. However, then there are the continuous dropouts when it comes to 5.1 sound. (I opened another thread some month ago.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.
I suspect the @gmc nightly (v18) is running some older Kodi patches from OSMC. This would rule out kernel and suggest a Kodi change we made is causing this.

I’ll probe further
