Every 2-5 minutes I get a gap in the audio for a mili second that is not only audible but is visible on my Amp
I am using a RPi with Openelec but have had no response to this on their forum so thought I would try here
I have eliminated the RPI and software by trying a new system and swapping the SD cards around in both
that leads me to believe it is either an Openelec fault (trying Rasbmc tonight) or a RPI one that is down to HDMI handshake issues?
Is there a firmware upgrade or does the RPi get upgraded along with Openelec?
Thanks this is driving me crazy
Ps also think this is only when streaming online stuff and not files off my server.

I've got the same problem. I think it has something to do with refreshrate sync.
It started when i turned it on to have more fluent movie but resulted in audio that skips sometimes.
It's also visible on my receiver (passthrough), it blinks like if it looses the signal.
I did not have had any time to test this but maybe you can try it.

Interesting will check later but pretty sure I never enable that option, just the change refresh rate at start one

I am seeing similar issues with different video types. Usually, when powering up or rebooting xmbc the first file plays without gaps or hickups, but when pausing or stopping and restarting the video (or selecting another one to play), the hickups start occuring.
Disabling "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" seemed to help at first but also noticed hickups as well (but they seem to occur less). Adding hdmi_clock_change_limit=50 made no difference in any case.
What does the Adjust display rate option actually do?
I'm running OE 3.2.3 (I'm not sure if this issue was also the case with previous versions).

Just tried a raspbmc build and audio drops massively reduced. Only two in an hour

Just tried the hdmi_clock_change_limit=50 and this might solve the problem for me. Just watched a movie and had no dropouts.
Will test some more later this week.
Btw I am now using latest rjeb frodo back port build (26-10).
I did not had the dropouts with official openelec 3.1.6. It started at the 3.2.0 releases for me. 3.2.1 fixed it and it came back in 3.2.2 and 3.2.3. After that I switched to the custom builds.
