Sound cutting out on nbc channel 188 for several days now

Sound keeps dropping out on nbc channel 188 only. X1, cable (not streaming). Chicago. Rebooted tv box and X1 but no changes, still happening. See lots of complaints but no solutions.

Having the same issue with 188.  Multiple cable boxes.  Can’t seem to get that communicated through the automatic help desk.

It’s been happening for a couple weeks now.  We have TiVos and it’s the same thing.  Tried restarting the box which is a pain, and worse, it didn’t help.  Power went out today which restarted the entire modem, router, TiVo box etc.   still a problem.   Was actually so bad tonight I had to just turn off SNFootball.  I’m sure the advertisers are gonna love that.  If it’s Xfinity, fess up.  If it’s nbc, blame them.   Either way, get off the stick and get it fixed!   Anyone know the number for MetroNet???

Yes, killing me for days.  Only on 188, ironically, Comcast’s own network!

Hello @user_9o63mj, thanks for reaching out for help with the audio on channel 188. 

By chance are you still having issues with the audio cutting out on this channel?

You know I just sat up here trying to post something and they got the little boxes in the way this is been a known problem for me also for over a year and my neighbor who just has internet with Internet dropping in and out pixelation and freezing of the TVs audio dropping in and out it is a hot mess I have one gig of service and five TVs paying $270 a month and all they do is make excuses after calling in 10 times to the 800 number demanding that they file a ticket then people started responding to me and I had a supervisor out here maintenance they said there were a bunch of errors in the subdivision which I believe and they changed that out but they still didn't change anything out of my house then they said the app could be bad and causing the audio to drop in and out a little part in the amp and I think that was true the TVs got better for 3 days and it went back to doing the same thing which was pixelating freezing and sound dropping looking on this forum I can see I'm not the only one in ABC and MSNBC are horrible sitting up here today watching it freeze again for about a minute and a half the only other choice we have out here is dish with I don't want to go to but I think I may as well I think they've had so many problems with their modems the new one and their 4K boxes and they don't want to admit it and think that people and most people will just stick with them there needs to be some sort of change and they need to be held accountable

@user_34657d​ I resend the signal to the gateway internet box and then I unplug the main cable box (I have wireless boxes besides the main box that is hard wired) and the tv box that I am watching, wait a minute then plug them back in and the audio glitching problem is fixed….. for a day or two but ultimately the problem comes back.

I have been experiencing this for weeks.  Also happens for me on a few other channels, but, mainly 188. I went to the Xfinity store and the gave me a new box and new HDMI cable. Still happening even with the new box and HDMI cable.

Impossible to watch. Major dialogue goes missing. Even tried closed caption. Displays musical notes when dialogue cuts out! Weird.

Hi, @user_pvzjds! Thank you for spending your time to contact XFINITY over our forums page for help with the sound cutting out on NBC and for patiently waiting for a response. I never like experiencing audio interruptions when trying to watch my favorite channels so I understand the inconvenience that this can cause. I am sorry to learn about this experience. Since it has been 2 days since you reached out, are you still experiencing this issue at this time?

Had the same issue with the ND and SNF games.  During the SNF game I switched over to the Pecock App via the X1 remote and sound was fine. Got out of the Pecock App and went back to cable NBC (188) and  was fine for awhile but then the dropouts started again.

The sound on Chicago NBC has been cutting out for about a week.  This is the only channel.

Hello, @user_d1yu2k! Thank you for leaving a comment with your shared concerns. Is this still ongoing for you? If so, may we ask what troubleshooting you've tried so far, and if you've created your own post yet to have your particular address/service looked into? The more customers who reach out about a particular issue, the more likely our engineers are able to pinpoint and address this concern (once we troubleshoot and submit tickets as necessary). Please let me know if this helps! And feel free to start a new post to have us look into your account, specifically.
