Bad Audio when connecting from NVIDIA Shield as client

[DaddyW123]

I haven't done a LOT of troubleshooting just yet, but my NVIDIA Shield is connected to a 7.1 stereo system. My gaming PC running Sunlight is also connected to a 7.1 stereo system. When I connect to my gaming PC via moonlight on my cell phone, audio is fine.
But, when I connect via moonlight on my shield, audio is inconsistent. It's a bit hard to explain, but it kind of fluctuates from the center/front like it should sound, to only in the rear speakers, then back again. And the volume seems to go up and down a bit as well. It's really pretty bad and in my opinion, makes it non-playable. The video stream is just fine. All are on local LAN. Both the gaming rig and Shield are hard wired gig ethernet. While the phone (that performs better) is wireless of course. And even if I'm outside our network and my phone is connected to my house via VPN over 5g/4g coverage, audio is still perfectly fine on the phone app. So I doubt it's a bandwidth issue on the Shield. Like I said, I haven't done too much troubleshooting just yet, but I'm pretty sure I attempted to change the audio settings in moonlight on the Shield from 7.1 to even stereo but I don't think it made a difference. However, that was a while ago so I'll have to try it again and I'll update this if that does actually make a difference. But wondering if anyone else has this issue?

It looks like this was a fluke on my end. After changing a few things (so I don't know what the ultimate fix was), I manually assigned the main audio device as the output device in the sunshine configuration page. And I set my nVidia Shield to 5.1 audio rather than 7.1 (even though I think I had tried that before). Lastly, I simply rebooted my gaming PC. Stupidly, I think it was the reboot that fixed it actually. Because the other day I noticed choppy audio while playing via my Phone when that wasn't choppy before. So I just rebooted my gaming PC and when I reconnected, it was all good.
