NBC Live Sports Sound Cutting Out.

Is anyone else experiencing the sound dropping out constantly on NBC when it’s broadcasting live sports? It’s driving me mental. Doesn’t happen at all when there’s commercials on but happens every 2 minutes when live sports comes on again. I’ve tried everything, rebooting, checking cables, system refresh etc and nothing fixes it.

Completely. On their best day Xfinity has terrible customer service but after speaking to them tonight I’m done. The lovely lady in the Philippines informed me that they’ve not had anyone else experience this issue. The forums I’ve read previously tell me different. They’re just ignorantly ignoring it’s an issue.

Yep. Same here. Had live sports issue where pixelated on various channels a year ago & after 5 different tech trips and many months, they had to get an outside crew to diagnose an interference issue in our neighborhood & work on some line down the street. 

I’M SO DONE.

user_a313yp That would be maddening to me as well if the volume kept cutting in and out. Thank you for reaching out using our Xfinity community forums for help with the Audio on NBC. Have you noticed if this on impacting any other channels or programs on NBC?

Yep, sound keeps cutting out just like on the Sunday night NBC broadcasts.  No issues watching sports on other channels, just NBC.  Is this a NBC thing?

HI there, @user_cgkskc! Thank you for reaching out about the audio drops during the game. Were you watching the game on an X1 TV box, Xfinity Xumo box, or through the Xfinity Stream app? Is this the only broadcast you have noticed issues with the audio?

Thanks for reaching out to let us know you are also experiencing this issue, @user_4xcyuy. We are not seeing this as a known issue so are asking troubleshooting questions. The answers to our questions get put together into a ticket for our engineering team. We appreciate all the help everyone has been providing in the thread.

Are you using a TV box or watching in the Xfinity Stream app?

For your audio, do you use the TV speakers, Bluetooth audio, or a soundbar or receiver?

Been a problem for me on and off for months.  Tonight on Sunday Night Football I can hear the public address announcer and the fans but Chris and Mike are barely audible.  It is clearly an NBC created problem as the commercials are fine; otherwise I would say it was a NBC/Comcast interface problem.

Oh well, feels like I am sitting in the stands.

FS1 surround sound is perfect for the Mariners at Toronto.

During the Sunday night San Francisco game, our broadcast (X1 TV box) kept freezing both during the live broadcast as well as the recording. When viewing the recording, and trying to fast forward through commercials, it would often go back to the beginning of the recording. Tried rebooting the box but no improvement.

This is not the experience we want for anyone and our team is here to help, randy1264. Rebooting the box is a great first step. Just to confirm did you use the Xfinity app to further troubleshoot when this occurred? It works great and is easy to use.
