Sound Droppping

[Adam1V]

Ive got a couple of small video files which keep dropping sound, after around 60 seconds I get no sound.
Testing the video locally, there is no issues.

any thoughts?

[sam_nazarko]

It’d help to know what device you’re using.

[Adam1V]

Sorry, Vero 4K, latest OS

[sam_nazarko]

@Adam1V

Testing the video locally,

What are you testing on as a comparison?
Can you enable debug logging and upload a full set of logs?

Cheers

Sam

[Adam1V]

Hi @sam_nazarko , ive uploaded the logs to: https://paste.osmc.tv/okarasiniz

Testing on a windows machine using VLC

many thanks

[Adam1V]

Hi Sam,
Is there anything in this log thats jumping out as an obvious cause to the sound dropping?

[JimKnopf]

at a glance I cannot see anything regarding audio drops

<audiodevice default="true">ALSA:default</audiodevice>
...
<channels>8</channels>

indicates you’ve configured

“Default (AML-M8AUDIO Analog), PCM”
with a 5.1 speaker configuration at settings->system->audio.

Is this intended?
What device is connected to the Vero and what port is used for audio (analog, S/PDIF, HDMI)?

[Adam1V]

Hi, no that’s not intended.
I’m using hdmi audio to a demon Reciever

[sam_nazarko]

Please change this to HDMI.
