If you have audio dropouts in Kodi Maven's / Kodinerds build READ THIS !

I had the problem that (only in Kodi Maven's, not in the normal Kodi version) when watching MKV the audio would regularly (every couple minute for like 1 second) cut out completely and i couldn't really find a solution but a lot of people with the same problem. But now i think i found the solution.

If you have the same problem do this:

1) Go to Settings then go to the bottom left and set it to Expert
2) Settings -> Audio -> Allow Passthrough enabled -> Passthrough output device you set to (RAW) Android IEC packer

That fixed it for me. I didnt have the time to watch a whole movie to test it but i watched like 1 hour and had zero cut outs when i would usually have one like every 5-10 minutes.

I hope its okay i wrote this in english just so everyone can read it and i hope people can get rid of this really annoying problem.

The build i used is "net.kodinerds.maven.kodi.arm64-v8a-202212250128-ac5a2c14-Matrix"
And im using the Nvidia Shield Pro 2019

Maybe someone can pin this topic, i think its a lot of people dealing with this

I just tried it out. You are right I also lose sound when fast forwarding or other things that interrupt the playback.
But you can at least press STOP and then resume at the point you stopped with audio working again. That's not great but it's better than having audio cutouts, at least it is for me
