The NVIDIA Shield TV is one of the most powerful streaming media devices one can lay hands on as of now. But even all that power does not guarantee a completely bug-free experience.
This is apparent from our NVIDIA Shield TV series bugs/issues tracker wherein we have listed some of the recent trending issues along with their workarounds, if any.
However, it’s still great to see that NVIDIA takes its stuff seriously and addresses most issues quickly enough with software updates.
Several users had recently taken to the forums saying that exiting the Kodi app whilst music is being played through the app, the audio gets slow and garbled.
NVIDIA Shield TV Pro streamed music issues with Kodi
This issue persists on the homescreen or even when switching over to another app such as Netflix. But as soon as the Kodi app is reopened, the problem disappears.
Fortunately, the music playback bug on the Shield TV Pro has been fixed with the Kodi 19 RC1 update as per a recent comment left on the forums by the NVIDIA staff themselves.
Good riddance! Hence, if you are one of the users still facing this issue, then be sure to update your Kodi app to the latest version.
The content instead plays in the regular 2-channel stereo mode and thus the glorious 5.1 surround audio is missed.
Nevertheless, the good news is that the bug was on NVIDIA’s side and they were kind enough to quickly address it with the latest update released on January 19.
The fix has been mentioned in the NVIDIA Shield Experience Upgrade 8.2.2 release notes as well.
