Really bad manufacturer support (SMSL): They told me if you are not satisfied with the product ask for a return

I have updated the firmware to version 2.06 (same firmware as M400) and I no longer notice the problem
Hi, Could you confirm if you were on HW 1.3 SW 1.6 or HW 1.3 SW 1.7? Asking as am on 1.6 and the 2.06 USB firmware update does nothing for my audio stutter issues with optical input. I also have an LG TV.

Tried this, doesn't help either.

I had to buy this to resolve the issue. I put it on the HDMI cable inputted to TV.

I will try the HDMI to optical convertor and bypass the LG audio conversion.

Thank you to everyone on the thread with their inputs.
