Hi Peter,


I was wondering if you had any other thoughts on the issue I was having 
with my shield.


I currently have stereo upmix turned off on the shield.    If I play 
videos, randomly I get this screeching noise when starting a video or 
some times after fast forwarding.    Rewinding or pausing for 3-4 
seconds often fixes the issue (until a commercial skip, etc ).


Tonight I decided to do a little more testing.  I turned on stereo upmix 
and I could essentially ONLY get the screeching sound so I obviously 
turned that back off.   Should it also be off in the mythtv settings?


I did recently update to the 
mythfrontend-20181102-arm64-v30-Pre-921-g35f94663d71 version w/ no 
change in behaviour.


Any thoughts?


Michael
