<div dir="ltr"><div>HOORAY PROBLEM SOLVED!!</div><div><br></div>Peter -- Please add the following Nvidia Shield Setting to your Digital pass through documentation. You might label it as optional if people have problems locking the correct codec. The problem may be exclusive to older receivers.<div><br></div><div>Michael, John, Tim, James - All of you have talked about audio problems recently with the Nvidia Shield in this or parallel threads. Investigate the feature below. It might solve your problem.</div><div><br></div><div>I've solved my issue with my older receiver not locking on to the correct audio codec when starting a new recording and sometime after a commercial skip in the middle of a recording. In these instances I get no audio other people have report similar odd behavior. A pause/play or a skip fixes the issue but its very annoying. After turning off the following Nvidia Shield Setting (not in Mythtv) everything is working correctly. Note that the very first time using MythTV after the change I got odd behavior. You might need to restart MythTV or even the Nvidia Shield. </div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px">settings -> Display and Sound -> Advanced -> Play comfort noise on HDMI -> OFF</span><br></div><div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>Use this option to en/dis playback of inaudible comfort noise on HDMI when no audio is present</div></blockquote><div><br></div>Not really sure what the setting does but turning it off fixed my issue. There must be something non-standard with the way MythTV integrates with Nvidia Shield audio that causes issues.

To me this was obvious because volume control does not work with
pass through. When writing the instructions I did not remember that
I had done this. I will update the instructions. Thanks for pointing
it out.</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><br>
