Kodi Sound is Distorted

[Stephen Allen]

Since the upgrade to 'Bionic Beaver', Kodi sound has been distorted. I downgraded to Artful to check it's Kodi and sound is fine there. So this time I did a clean install of Bionic (last time I upgraded to Bionic I used the same home directory as I had for Artful and Debian distros prior, so I wanted to rule out a corruption via config file). Still, badly distorted audio in clean install. This is on metal btw, not hypervisor.

Audio is fine in gnome-mpv, gnome-movie-player, and VLC.

As of this morning ET, Ubuntu pulled in some updates, which appear to have fixed the problem. Therefore I'm going to close for now - hopefully this doesn't regress. Cheers.
