Loud pop/crackling noise when stopping playback



I have my Onkyo AVR connected to my TV via eArc.

For some movies I get an incredibly annoying and possibly ear/gear damaging audio pop/crackling noise through the speakers when stopping the playback. It’s literally only for stopping the playback while it’s running. Pausing doesn’t have this issue, although the audio is paused here too. So my only solution to this so far is to pause first and then stop to exit. This way I have no issue.

I cannot pinpoint yet on which media this occurs and on which it doesn’t.

The issue occurs both on Android and Windows, I haven’t tested other OS. Latest Kodi update.

I tried different audio settings in Kodi and on my TV, but nothing seems to make a difference.

I’d appreciate any guidance. Cheers.
