I did a full reset before manually searching for the update. That way everything was fresh. After the update everything was fine. As a matter of fact, not had one issue or any of the new ones people were experiencing like cast.
However, before reading your reply, and only now just been able to, we had a powercut! So had to do a Factory reset because it messed everything up, not just the TV but NAS, router and others. But I am now getting issues again, lip sync, slow UI and the infamous exclamation mark has appeared.
I am in the process of rebooting the routers and having a look at other things, but yeah, the "Buzz" noise is still there when you pause and unpause using surround. As a side note, I guesse these TV's don't like unexpected powercuts!
I've got a few issues to report and it would be great if anyone else can confirm these issues if they are having it so that they can be listed on the confirmed ' 2015 Android Bugs and Issues' thread for Sony to address.
Software Version: PKG2.605.0052EUB
TV Model: KD-55X8507C
1. Videos not playing in Full Screen in the native 'Videos' app.
Description:
Videos sometimes appear on the top right corner or sometimes in the centre at a smaller display size. Here's a picture of what I mean:
The videos are in native UHD resolution (3840x2160) in the .TS format with HEVC codec. Have also had problems with UHD videos in .mp4 format. The problem seems to occur mostly with 4K (UHD) content. These are all videos being played from a USB 3.0 stick plugged into the USB 3.0 port on the rear of the TV.
Rebooting TV or killing the app does not seem to solve the issue most of the time. Issue appears most of the time, though not all the time. Did not have this issue at all with the previous software version and is definitely down to the recent software update.

2. Inputs sometimes appears blank (blank screen)
Description:
When selecting a particular input, e.g. 'HDMI 1' or 'HDMI 3', a blank black screen would appear just as though there is no input connected. The devices are definitely working, turned on and outputting a signal but there is no picture or sound. Other inputs would work, but a particular input (e.g. HDMI 3) would just show a blank screen. There is no "No signal" message shown which was introduced in the latest software update.
A reboot seems to fix the issue but the problem does seem to occur quite regularly and with different devices.
Picture:
No picture required - just a blank screen when you select e.g. HDM1 or HDMI 4 etc.
3. Headphone Jack does not output enough sound
Description
With the purchase of my TV, I was given a free Sony HT-CT80 soundbar as part of Sony's promotion. The soundbar is connected to the 3.5mm headphone jack on the TV as this is the only way I can control the volume of the soundbar using the TV's remote control (cannot seem to do this with the optical output from the TV).
The Sony HT-CT80 soundbar automatically turns off every 15 minutes due to not being able to detect a live audio input even though the soundbar is actually receiving sound from the TV and playing it perfectly well. I accept that this is a feature of the soundbar but looking at the Sony forums for this soundbar, we are told that the Soundbar isn't getting a strong enough sound output for the soundbar to detect an input. Can Sony fix this issue with their TV?
Thanks.
