PLEX audio dropouts and sync issues with seamless branching on 4K TrueHD/Atmos movies

Only TrueHD Atmos files with branching cuts are effected, not all files with TrueHD.

We have investigated and found the problem is inside the passthrough driver on the SHIELD, unfortunately we are unable to change this ourselves as its part of the OS. Kodi doesnt use the systems passthrough driver so it doesnt suffer from the same problem, we however can’t do the same due to licensing requirements.

At the moment, the problem is still being investigated by NVIDIA. We are also investigating alternative solutions.
