My Kodi worked perfectly on a Samsung Note 5 up until Sprint pushed an Android update yesterday. Now, Kodi 17.1 opens fine, looks fine, but as soon as it boots, loud noise is all you get for audio. It almost sounds like white noise, but also sounds like it could be some sort of audio file.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Kodi both from the Google Play store and downloading and installing Kodi directly from the Kodi download page, same result.
Interestingly enough, I also tried downloading SPMC to see if it would work and it functions the same way. Everything looks good, but all you hear is loud noise that even turning the media volume to zero doesn’t affect. It’s apparent that whatever change they made in Android is affecting both XBMC/Kodi and the fork SPMC the same way.
