Practical reading about streaming, devices and the decisions behind a better prepared setup.
Why Kodi’s display-sync setting can change the audio route
Sync playback to display can adjust playback speed and disable audio passthrough. Treat that as a documented tradeoff, separate from switching the display refresh rate.
