hmmm ... I did have some of those problems too. In my case they related 
to HDMI synch issues and impacted both channels plus video.
My solution was to add an HDMI splitter to the cable path. The splitter 
establishes separate links to the Pi and the Receiver / TV (in my case I 
have a cable to each) ... and negotiates the security protocols.
The splitters are cheap and easy, may be worth a try, I use 2

Do you have 2 devices to test with, see if it may be a synch problem ?

Have you tried a different cable ? Different connector at the device (TV 
or receiver) end ?

PS the splitter was the only way I could get my other Chromebox & Nuc to 
talk to one of my receivers, they won't synch at all if connected directly.
