No Audio for HE-AACv2 in Ubuntu 20.04

[andimik]

I've reinstalled my laptop with a clean installation of Ubuntu 20.04.

But I have OFTEN (not always) no sound at stations using HE-AACv2. All other (LC, v1, mono) work.

$ dpkg -l | grep faad
ii  libfaad-dev:amd64                          2.9.1-1                                    amd64        freeware Advanced Audio Decoder - development files
ii  libfaad2:amd64                             2.9.1-1                                    amd64        freeware Advanced Audio Decoder - runtime files

BTW: Same with Qt-DAB. All HE-AAC stations work, but when playing v2 there is the following error message (repeated each frame I guess):

Warning: Unexpected channel configuration change

Maybe this helps to identify the issue.

I'm sorry, I was writing this issue for a longer time and did not know - at the same time - a similar issue #61 was reported.

[basicmaster]

Thanks; I close this issue in favour of #61.

Don't worry, it seems that both have seen that problem at the same time.

But I have no idea, why sometimes I have sound, and sometimes not.
