No audio unless other application is generating sound.

I just did a fresh install of Linux Mint 18 on my Intel NUC D34010WYK and installed Kodi 16.1 (I previously ran Mint 17 and Kodi 15, I think).

I'm experiencing a strange error with the audio. If I just start up Kodi with nothing else running, I get no audio. However, if I make sure something is running and outputting audio (like running a youtube movie in firefox) while I start Kodi, I get audio.

Debug log when starting Kodi with no other audio running:

[Solved] strange behavior by launching addons from dynamic list.

strange behavior by launching addons from dynamic list.

first of all, i didnt change anything, but it dosent work in Krypton.

i have a Custom Window which holds ContentAddons in Lucid (Video, Music, Pictures, Programs -Addons, Android Apps)

Now after updating to Krypton they dont launch animore by cklicking on it ? / Confused

--

i didnt change anything, so it should still work but it doesnt!

---

i list the addons the same way as its done in estuary (or vice versa).

<content>addons://sources/video/</content>

and now onklick doesnt start the addons (funnywise in estuary this seems to work, but as told, same addon path. (+ it did work that way in Jarvis).)

all i can do is open the Infodialog via rightclick or "i" and launch the Addon from there.

Code:
<variable name="AddonHubContent">
        <value condition="Container(7100).HasFocus(1)">addons://sources/video/</value>
        <value condition="Container(7100).HasFocus(2)">addons://sources/audio/</value>
        <value condition="Container(7100).HasFocus(3)">addons://sources/image/</value>
        <value condition="Container(7100).HasFocus(4)">addons://sources/executable/</value>
        <value condition="Container(7100).HasFocus(5)">androidapp://sources/apps/</value>
        <!--value condition="Container(7100).HasFocus(6)">noop</value-->
        <value>addons://sources/video/</value>
    </variable>
So WHY the **** doesnt this work anymore? Bug?

As a sidenote:

I have different "Views" in my AddonHub (Custom Window) which holds there Content via "<content>$VAR[AddonHubContent]</content>

everything O.K. in Jarvis -> Broken functionality in Krypton.
