Golf Channel Audio Cuts Out

The sound for the Golf Channel continues to cut out. Only with the Golf Channel. No other channel. This problem has persisted for several months. Couple of support inquiries indicate this is a known issue. Clearly knowing and fixing are two different things.

Noticed the same thing at least a week ago or more.  Xfinity, please troubleshoot and fix this!

It doesn't happen on the SD channel.  I'm in Atlanta.  If you think your support people were competent, great.  If not, maybe you could update them with information on SD and locations in the country where it's a problem.

Hey @user_ed2f68 I apologize for the audio troubles on the golf channel. I am here and would love to help. Can you tell me the troubleshooting steps you've completed.

Thank you XfinityLamont for replying.  Since @user_ed2f68 said Comcast knows of this problem, I’m confused as to why you are asking a customer what they have done to troubleshoot.  Please tell us the status of this perhaps nationwide problem at customer support.

I agree, this is not a customer issue.   As I am watching “Live At The Open“ the audio is cutting out at least three times within a fifteen minute period. However audio is good during commercials.

The problem is isolated to one channel only. So my “troubleshooting” has concluded that the problem is with that channel. I’ve heard that it’s restricted to HD but I cannot confirm as my settings auto-select HD vs SD when both are available. I’m not going to change that. It’s up to Comcast to figure that out. I’m the customer not a support technician.

Yes same problem with the golf channel only. This has been a problem it seems during live golf coverage for the last couple of weeks. Does not seem to happen in studio setting broadcast.  Very irritating especially with what we pay for monthly service.

Same here.  It has been doing this for months in the Katy, Texas market.  I have had 10-12 telephone calls with tech support, have had 2 technicians come out and test their lines all

the way to the box, have changed the box out 3 times it’s one of the changes being a brand new box.  Xfinity, your technicians are wasting countless hours and money switching boxes with a problem that appears to be a KNOWN problem.  Please fix this on YOUR end.  I have been a customer for 21 years but this is pushing my patience and with AT&T laying new cable all throughout our neighborhoods, I might have to switch….

Perhaps you could update us all on what, if anything, Comcast is doing. I have been putting up with the same issue (sound disappears for approximately 5 to 8 seconds) every time I watch a broadcast on Golf Channel, and only recently discovered via Google that (1) it's been going on for a long time; and (2) it seems to be nationwide.

Also happening for the past few weeks for me. Golf Channel HD, and never on commercials. Extremely dissatisfied with the lack of attention as I am sure Xfinity is well aware of this widespread issue. And how exactly does one troubleshoot a single channel sound problem only happening during broadcast and not commercials?

Edit: it seems to be happening on other providers and platforms. If this is a Golf Channel issue it should still be the responsibility of the provider (i.e. Xfinity) to help resolve the situation for their customers.

Hello, @odenno and thread. I sincerely apologize for the audio dropping during the golf games. We don't ever want that happening and I know it makes it difficult if not impossible to watch something. I am seeing this issue is being worked on by our Engineering team. It does not show if the problem is on the Golf channel end, but we do work with Networks to resolve a problem when we need to.

Problem watching Live from the Open continues!   Sound cuts out!  Too hard for Comcast, NBC network,  Golf Channel (all the same company) to resolve - disappointing!
