Audio Skipping Apple TV 4K fixed

Last couple months audio skipping occurred with Apple TV 4K. Initially I thought it was my receiver but there was no skipping with my other devices----only with Apple TV 4K.

I went to Settings -> Video and Audio -> Audio Format -> and turned off the Dolby Digital 5.1, making the Change Format Off.

With the previous setting of Change Format: New Format: Dolby Digital 5.1 set to on, Apple screen warns "Audio will be re-recorded into a format your equipment supports, or replaced with stereo. This may be more compatible, but reduces audio quality."

With the Change Format ***Off***, if you try to turn it on Apple screen warns "Audio will be decoded and sent to your equipment as uncompressed multichannel LPCM. Only change formats if you are experiencing playback problems."

I had previously set my format to Dolby 5.1 thinking that was the best setting, but that was a mistake and created the audio skipping, apparently with the latest Apple TV software versions, as of February 2024.

By returning to Audio Format = ***Auto*** with Change Format = ***Off***, and doing a restart, the audio skipping problem stopped.
