Within the last few weeks I have started having audio issues with Kodi. The sound to my receiver cuts out or drops momentarily every few minutes. The same problem happens whether I try passthrough or normal stereo out, and whether I run audio through my receiver or through my desktop pc speakers. When I try passthrough though my receiver clicks as if it’s losing signal entirely.
It correlates in my debug log to this type of entry …

...Which repeats on the some variation for maybe a hundred lines before returning to normal. In the pastebin log below I only waited for the audio to cut out once (for brevity’s sake), but the same sequence will repeat every few minutes as I mentioned. I don’t have the same problems with external players like VLC so it is very perplexing. Any ideas??
