    Default Problems with HDMI audio after fw upgrade!

    So I've spent all of last month praising my new Boxee Box and as soon as the new firmware (1.20) hits and bam everything just stops working.. my shares don't work and what I'm most worried about is problems with the hdmi audio out. it just doesn't work.. the only way to fix it is to change from 1080p to 720p then go back to 1080p.. not only that i have to change hdmi audio out spdif then back again before it works..

    does anyone else have this problem!

    Actually, it's worse than that because ALL audio dies on the latest update. You can downgrade for a while, but if you ever mess up and take the latest "required" update then you have to factory reset to get audio again.

    Known issue, has been around for a while. So far I haven't seen any serious effort to fix it.

    I only have dropout issues with the advanced codecs. DD/DTS/PCM has zero dropouts for me, unlike the last two RC releases.

    Tonight I watched one movie with DTS (Appleseed) and one third of a movie with DD(Appleseed: Ex Machina), both from BD ISOs, and I had zero dropouts with the legacy audio.

    If they had advanced audio codecs I would have used those but they only had legacy audio codecs. The two movies I watched today had DTS-HD MA and like usual I had several audio dropouts during each movie. It will sure be nice to get the audio dropouts from the Advanced codecs fixed.
