Sound cutting out constantly

What I REALLY don't understand is with all of the posts from people having the same issue (sound cuts out during live and DVR), not to mention anyone who DOESN'T post, why isn't Comcast doing something about the issue or posting a solution, instead of these constant please message us PRIVATELY and we will look into your issue.  This is NOT isolated, so obviously there must be something wrong with the product i.e. the tv box, equipment, you name it.  Comcast needs to take ownership of this issue.

We have dealt with Comcast/Xfinity for many years and nothing has improved.  If this keeps up for us and I keep reading posts of ongoing similar issues from other users and NO solution from Comcast, we may just have to go back to Direct TV.

Hello @stevegarb! I would be happy to assist you with the sound issue you are having. You stated that it is happening on both boxes. Are they having the problem on only certain channels or all channels?

All channels. The workaround I found in another thread (there are many here) of changing the video settings to 1080i and then not confirming the change has worked for part of the day but now the problem is back.

@stevegarb, thank you for clarifying all channels are impacted. Are you using a sound bar or secondary audio device?

Yes I use an AV receiver with one of the boxes. But the other box uses just TV audio.

At this time, I'd like to take a deeper look and send a few signals to your box. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address @stevegarb?
