Audio. Not asking for app support

My prior post was flagged. Let me clarify. I wish to report anomalous behavior. I have successfully run kodi 16.1 and 17.1 with same addon with firestick, galaxy s3 and nook hd+. Using win 32 build on well provisioned AMD990fx ( I think) system and generic USB audio with generic driver I have good results with 16.1. 17.1 has momentary audio dropouts. Pc plays all other audio fine. Kodi site says 17.1 has improved audio subsystem. Asking if there is a kodi setting workaround to reduce stress on my audio. The only variable here is the android vs win32 build. Thanks
