Upgrading to the latest server version, like 10.10.5, is always a good idea, so I definitely recommend doing that. However, the fixes in that update are focused on transcoding issues, which aren't relevant to refresh rate switching. Since you didn’t have that option enabled and your video was playing directly without transcoding, it shouldn’t impact your current setup.
I’d suggest leaving refresh rate switching off, as enabling it on the Firestick can sometimes lead to problems, such as high-resolution audio being mistakenly treated as PCM.
I also use a Firestick 4K, so I can relate to the issue of DTS-HD MA audio going out of sync after a while. This isn’t likely a problem with your TV or AVR, but more with the Firestick itself. High-res DTS audio support in the Jellyfin Android TV client isn’t great, which is why I usually convert the audio to EAC3 when possible to avoid issues. Additionally, the Firestick only passes through the DTS Core track, so you won’t be getting the full DTS-HD MA audio experience.
Regarding the original problem of audio going out of sync during direct play, that can be tricky to troubleshoot. My suggestion would be to try a different player, like Just Player. It’s based on ExoPlayer and supports DV/HDR and high-res audio compatibility, similar to the ExoPlayer used in Jellyfin for Android TV. I’ve had good results with it.
