The 96kHz audio dropouts don’t occur with Kodi on the Shield because Kodi employs it own IEC packer. This problem is highly likely a regression with the Android IEC packer. Nvidia had resolved the issue with Shield Experience 8.0.2 back in February 26, 2020–which apps like Emby and Plex are dependent upon.
The root cause is with the underlying Android audio subsystem–specifically the Android IEC packer/Dolby MAT encoder. This issue can only be resolved in a collaborative effort between Google/Nvidia and Plex. For those that are curious you can look at the Kodi source code for their IEC packer implementation.
