Audio only stutter

Yes it did work before that issue.
But right now everything seems to be unstable now.
I have no clue what's going on.
Reboot does not seem to work on first try; on second try it does...
And now it refuses to start kodi; it shows the splash screen but it returns to console prompt.
I am going to have some more tries; i will restore a snapshot but I have no time right now so will do that later...

What I also noticed running top is that a mount.ntfs process was still running, probably for the Seagate harddrive (the one that does not contain my music). This drive did not show up in the GUI if you navigate to Video. However if you go to Files if does show up and you can access files. So maybe there is some kind of obscure mount problem too.
I will inform you once I have done some more tests.

Also, do you have a spare sd card that you could put a fresh image on to see if maybe there is corruption on the current card that only affects music only playback?

I have a probable corruption issue with one pi2 now where databases no longer load. Everything else works fine except sometimes audio goes out of sync with video. A reboot and it's back in sunc again.
I'm going to rebuild that system from scratch soon.

Good suggestion; I will also try playing music file from SD card. With and without the external drives (removing the cables).
