Dropouts when bitstreaming Atmos through an HDMI 2.1 AVR with nVidia 3xxx GPUs
Manni:
I asked other members of the family not to use the servers and I was able to watch a full film tonight with the 3090, 555.99 in 4K119 10bits without any dropouts or frame drops. I'll keep testing over the next couple of days but at this stage it looks like the issue is NOT the GPU.
SamuriHL:
That would be odd cause I live alone and have 2.5gb ethernet everywhere. The HTPC sits next to the router which is directly connected to the NAS that sits below it. I can't imagine it's a network issue.

Well, in my case it's a bit more complex because my 4k content is on an Unraid server, which is also hosting a win10 VM that's the Mymovies server and the CCC (part of CMC) server, and the 4k server also hosts the Dune metadata used to display the Dune front end. So if someone tries to access the Dune metadata from a Dune player somewhere, it's entirely possible that it could disrupt the unraid server long enough to create a freeze/catchup. This wouldn't explain why I don't have the issue in 8bit, but that might have been a coincidence too.
I'm going to keep the family ban for a while, then I'll see if I can cause drops when they access the server. Then I'll try moving the Dune metadata to the other server (the one that holds my 2K content) and I'll see if it makes a difference.
I didn't think it could be server related because I did lots of tests initially with the films hosted on a local SSDs to rule out network storage issues, but that was a long time ago, before Hendrik improved things in LAV. So I think my drops/freezes might be back for a different reason/cause. I don't have 2.4G but I have wired 1G and I don't think it's a bandwidth issue.
Of course, if you're on your own, then that can't be the reason for you. I'll keep you posted. Still, it might be worth playing content from a local SSD to see if you still get drops or not.

Yea I can certainly run some tests locally on the 3080 machine. It has some slower ssd's in it but they should be plenty fast enough for 4K MKV playback. I might have some time tomorrow night to watch a movie and see what happens.

Maybe one of your kids has figured out how to manage your router for you.
