And what is wrong with the sound?

I have the feeling that something is going on with your system.

I will try and explain this weekends events and investigations from the top

Until this weekend I had a stable system running on a RPI4 with 128GB SD card (this system also had a plex server installed, this weekend KODI asked for a reboot. Upon rebooting KODI would show boot screens and then drop to linux login, it was not producing kodi.log

In an attempt to resolve issues I did a clean install of latest image onto a different SD card, this works fine however when I try the following commands to be able to reinstall plex I get the following

Seeing that this new build seemed to be having problems with repositories I booted from my original SD card and using apt-get I installed the previous xbmc package, this worked and all appeared well. However when I played a file the low frequency audio had a slight clicking sound. I then tried booting on the card with the new install and there was no clicking.

So in summary I now have 2 SD cards.
1. My original card from before the weekend that has been upgraded automatically and has now had xbmc package reverted to previous version. All seems fine except for slight audio issue that definitely was not there before.
2. A completely new installed card with disk image from xbian download site that works fine except the repositaries aren't working correctly.
