PMed thank you!
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. I've been searching for a solution for the cheap generic tx6-p box (2GB/16GB RAM/DISK) crackled sound but I wasn't able to find it.
When I run the update app I receive a "Now is the latest version".
All specs are similar to the tx6-a (https://androidpctv.com/review-tanix-tx6a-opinion/#VIDEO_AND_AUDIO_TEST, the output from AIDA64 is the same as described there) but I'm afraid to brick it.
Any hints?
(Sorry if duplicated or redundant)

Android box is cheap, no point saving a few dollars to get box with no brand.
Next time make sure that the box you get has a proper brand/model number and a support site.
You may want to try downloading firmware from similar model to flash it, make sure that the RAM and NAND are identical. Sometimes it will brick the box, sometimes it works but not the wifi and/or remote control. In the later case, it is still ok if you are not using wifi and has an airmouse.
If bricked, take it as tuition fee.
thank you @xiaofan.You are at the mercy of the OEM vendor now. You have to wait for FW upgrades which may or may not happen.
If you look at the Tanix official store at Gearbest, there are only Tanix TX6 and TX6 Mini for the official version with Tanix Logo.

There are no such version as Tanix TX6-A and TX6-P in the official store. If you look at the AndroidPCTV review article you can see that the TX6-A reviewed there is without Tanix Logo.
FYI Tanix has released multiple versions of FW upgrades for Tanix TX6, and the FW upgrades include fixes for crack sounds. The FW upgrades work on my OEM Version of TX6. But the FW upgrades did not fix the thermal issues so I have to use a fan with the box. The thermal issue is also present for the official version of Tanix TX6 based on reports from various websites.
Another thing, my OEM Version of TX5 Max receives no FW updates at all but luckily it works without any issues.
thank you @xiaofan.
I didnt notice a thermal problem just the sound issue. Do you think I should proceed with the fw update as you did? @gregory_choo mentioned that it may brick the box (or even have an impact on peripherals) but it is barely usable as is.
If you recommend to update, which fw should I use?
All the best.
any good brands?
is x96max good? can it playback 4k vids from external hdd?
thank you!No idea about TX6-P because I do not think it is from Tanix. But you can try to ask in Freaktab forum.
