So I went to the Shield settings and turning off surround, then in 
Mythfrontend I turned off any digital audio feature. Then tried OpenSLES 
which still has issues and then Audio Track.  So for Mythfrontend on 
Shield TV:

AudioTrack, Digital audio off, Stereo, and Shield Surround off.

This setting also works with Leanfront.
