Continuing the discussion from Plex HTPC Frozen Playback with Latest Release (only some files):
THis is how I solved the problem, with some older audio formats leading to freezing or distorted sound, when using a newer HTPC release than 1.29:
“Lautsprecher (THX Spatial Audio)” is on my desktop, on my HTPC I have selected the SPDIF Realtek output.
Obviously you have to say goodbye to SPDIF passthrough. But I can live with that, AC3 and DTS decoding is done well by the MPC libraries, and 5.1 output is working again.
