I am having the same issue. At first I thought it was a bad disc rip with MakeMKV but the subsequent rip showed the exact same problem when playing an Atmos track. Even replacing the disc did nothing as the drop outs happen at the exact same time stamp. It's annoying. I even gave MrMC a try and it has the exact same issue. This is disappointing as I love my Shield Pro. It's always played everything I've thrown at it perfectly.

I have noticed subwoofer channel audio dropouts specifically with matrix. Still don't know how to fix the issue.

I haven't been able to find any combination of settings. It only happens when I watch videos with more than 2 audio channels. Stereo sound is fine.

Signed up to the forum just so I could follow this thread.
Just watched the lossless rip of a UHD I bought, and had many audio dropouts throughout. Video was fine. Interestingly, the most dropouts occurred during the final credits, where the audio has a lot of LFE (subwoofer) activity.
Same setup as others are describing here. Lossless MKV with Atmos track, streamed from a NAS via SMB. Kodi is set to audio passthrough, and running on a Shield Pro.
Absolutely maddening when it happens.

reinstall kodi, and reset the shield, and change, the usb audio mode of the shield in stereo I think it is, and in kodi Try going to settings/audio/audio output device/ Change it from (IEC) to (RAW)
it seems that it is working well, someone else can try?

Running Kodi on a Shield Pro with a Denon AVR 2600x
Same problem directly on Receiver and Shield on TV with eArc enabled.
After updating from v18.9 to v19 Matrix, because ive got a new TV and wanted to try to get Dolby Vision running, I have exaclty the same problem.
Atmos sound stuttering in MKV movies that worked flawless before.
I tried around with the settings and couldnt get it to work.
Reverted back to v18.9.
Works fine without problems.
Would really be great to get Matrix running if possible.

I'm watching the original Blade Runner in TrueHd 7.1. I'm 55 mins in and have had 3 stutters.
Looking at this thread it seems like this is not going to be addressed or even acknowledged by anyone with the time or power to do so, so tomorrow I'll drop back to 18.9 - which is fine, for me it's the same experience but the only drawback is the Shield not being able to update anything else.
The only other player that may be fine would likely be the Vero 4k+
