I have built a nice wireless boombox using the Pi 2 model B, your DAC+ with RCA out to small amp, the 7" Raspberry touch display, and kodi Isangard-OpenELEC 6.0. The sound is really good and everything looks to be working fine with all music playback, it is just the audio portion to any video playing either off the internet or from local drives. The audio lags behind the video and I get 1-2 second audio drop-outs every 10-15 seconds. This happens with all video, youtube, videos from thumb drive, any video i choose in Kodi. I have tried every audio and playback setting based on what I am finding on the internet. Do I have an issue with the RPi 7" display since it uses the DSI port and not the HDMI out of the Pi?

HiFiBerry team Did you try the HDMI port? I don't know how Kodi addresses the display.

roger maier I have other Pi based Kodi systems that use the HDMI out port that work just fine. The intent of my project was to utilize the 7in touch display for the Pi. This gives me touch screen control of Kodi on a portable system with built in stereo speakers. No need for mouse/keyboard/SSH. I wanted to find information on the audio drop-outs during video playback but have found little help since I am mixing Kodi, HiFiBerry DAC, Pi, and Pi touch display it is hard to find anyone with the same exact combination of parts and the same problem.

HiFiBerry team Hi Roger,
this mix of components is the reason why I asked if you checked it with HDMI. This will help to find out what might be the cause of this issue.

roger maier Got it. Unfortunately, the Pi and HDMI port are buried inside the enclosure. I would have to dismantle the entire unit to get to the HDMI port.

HiFiBerry team Nice unit! Unfortunately I can't say what might be the issue with your specific setup. You might directly contact the OpenElec developers. Maybe they can give an advise how to debug and fix this.
Best regards
Daniel
