No sound after pause on HDMI when Bitstreaming (1 Viewer)

[KJ-Cox]

New computer build with Windows 11 Pro.
MediaPortal 1.34 x64.

When I pause a video the audio drops out. This only occurs when using LAV audio with Bitstreaming.
I can disable Bitstreaming and there's no issue, but then I am reduced to PCM for my eARC sound bar through my LG TV.
Using VideoLAN to play the same movie with bitstreaming and there's no issue with the audio.

Been trying to work this out for days and even purchased an 8G Video card but it's still the same issue.
If I have subtitles available I can turn them off or on during playback. This causes the audio to come back.

Using all latest drivers and there's no windows updates.

Please, always post the logs in debug mode.
VideoLAN doesn't use LAV filters. Try to use MPC-HC player for comparison.
Try to use different audio renderer (default or MPAudioRenderer).

Default Direct Sound Device was the problem.
MPAR worked better than Dircect Sound, but is still a problem.

Changed Audio Renderer to use the TV and it's working.
