I've had the same issue for ages when playing back multichannel files, be that on a HDMI or local stereo out. When all the channels have the same volume everything's fine. When a single channel has a different setting from the others, there' s this high-frequency pitch. It's been a year at least but I've never had the time to look into this. -Pierre
