Server Version#: 1.29.1.6313  
Player Version#: 9.9.0  
Tuner Make/Model: HD Homerun Connect Duo  
Guide/Lineup name:  
Using XMLTV?:  
Channel number/Name:

Currently I experience sound cuts when I watch a TV channel and I leave the default audio stream (AC3 5.1). If I change it to the secondary stream (AC3 Stereo) I have no sound problems. I want to specify that I am in passtrough mode to my home theater which supports 5.1 without any problem.

I also checked and no transcoding is active when I experience the problem.

It would be nice if we could choose the default audio stream only for the live tv.
