Hey,

I'm experiencing audio stutter while playing movies via the Raspberry Pi to the TV. I used to have the 1080p videos buffering all the time, but I fixed by switching my shares from Samba to NFS, using Hanewin NFS Server. That fixed all the buffering issues and makes the Pi read the shares much, much faster.

Now the last issue I need to fix: audio glitching. I hear static pops through the audio when playing movies. Both 720p and 1080p video's do it. It does not seem to relate to scene intensity or something like that. I've tried turning on and off DTS and switching the audio from 5.1 to 2.0 etcetera, the pops never dissappear. I've also overclocked the Pi (850/350/450) but this only makes the Pi snappier. It does not fix the problem.

So, is this a problem more people are experiencing or is it something that relates to the alphaish nature of the audio drivers present in current builds? (I'm on r11524)

Thanks,
Foodie

I've got the same issue too, with OpenELEC-RPi.arm-devel-20120704203304-r11493
I hear glitches and "pops" using HDMI audio, and distotion/white noise using analog audio.

Have either of you overclocked, or set config_hdmi_boost in the /flash/config.txt file? That helped me a bit in the past.

Hi gunja, thanks for the advice.
I tried to set the clock to 800 and 850, and set hdmi_boost to 4 and 7, but the issue still remains.
I also change some xbmc options, like video synch, but I'm starting to think that it's a audio driver related problem.

i've got the same problem with analog audio and video.

HDMI plays fine.
But with analog audio, when playback starts it "pops" my boxes (TV or stereo hifi).
Pretty annoying and bad for the boxes.
Also you hear a lot of noise and clicks.

Or analog audio out has bad chips or failing software.

With analog video, the pi starts up, I adjust the corners of the screen with those blue crossed.
Screen is filled fine. But when i start a movie playback I get black corners and smaller screen than I setup. If you return back to the XBMC menu's the screen is left small.
Trying to adjust it again: those blue crosses aren't visible fully anymore around the edges

Very dissapointing... Pi....
These 2 problems are both wih OpenELEC as with RaspBMC distribution

The Raspberry guys added analog audio and video but that sucks completely....
For analog older TV completely not workable....

Any progress or update in fixing that basic feature ?

For me it pops and clicks on audio analog and HDMI as well.
o for analog, it only pops whenever I play or stop playback
o for HDMI it pops on play and stop and sometimes clicks while playback or adds clipping which is very noisy and bad for the speakers.
BTW, whatever I try, I'm unable to make the PI passthrough HDMI. Can anybody tell me how I need to set things up? I've tried all configurations I could think of.
I'm on OpenELEC-RPi.arm-devel-20120704203304-r11493. Is there any way I can get any updates (nightly builds) or do I need to build my own for the PI?
