Sound Cutting In & Out When Running Xfinity Stream on ANY Apple Products

Over the last week, the Xfinity stream app will play audio for the first 30 seconds and then start cutting in and out, intermittently, until you close out the app. 

After doing some research, and walking through EVERY troubleshooting step known to man, here's what I've come up with: 

- This only happens on Apple Products (my iPhone or Apple TV). If I open Xfinity Stream on a FireTV, no issues. 

- I've re-started, re-installed, updated, upgraded, and done every other step-by-step issue with the Xfinity team, with no solution.

- I explained that EVERY other app on my devices is working fine. The only app that has this issue is Xfinity Stream.

Every forum I've read is nothing but other customers saying they're experiencing the same issue, but no resolutions are being posted. 

Can someone at Xfinity please take a look at the coding of the app? 

If I was the only one experiencing this situation, I would think it could be user error (we're all human), but after seeing the exact same issue echoed by many, it's pretty obvious Apple & Xfinity aren't playing nice together right now. While a credit has been offered for the down days, I don't want to have to run out and purchase a FireTV stick simply to be able to watch the morning news. I pay for Xfinity, and was gently forced onto the stream app because the free basic cable boxes (that never had an issue) were no longer free, and I was insured that the Stream App would work exactly like the box. That is certainly not the case. 

If ANYONE could offer a reasonable solution to this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi user_tnrso5, I love the Stream app and use it on a few of my TV's, so I can imagine how annoying an audio issue like that would be. Let's get on the same page and go from there. Are you seeing this on live tv, all channels, DVR, or On Demand? Also, have you taken any troubleshooting steps on your end? That way we can avoid repeating steps if possible.

user_1jlvmj Thanks for reaching out! Does this happen on all channels for you, or just certain ones?

user_sn0a2d Sorry to hear you are having issues on both of your devices. This was a few days ago. Are you still having issues? If so, is this on specific channels or programs you are noticing the issue?

Oh no! Which IOS is installed on those devices, user_9e00c8? Is it just the Apple devices that are impacted?

Same issue here too with my an Apple IPad and Xfinity Streaming app! I have uninstalled , reinstalled, refreshed, restarted, etc multiple times.   Nothing works to fix it.  Hoping they get this figured out, since I can no longer watch any Xfinity tv on my iPad!  Annoying!

I ran an update of Apple Home app and it seemed to fix it. This was after deleting Xfinity app, reinstalling it, rebooting phone and modem, which did not work. Good luck!

Same issue that just started tonight on my iPhone and iPad, but just with Xfinity Stream. Amazon Music and other apps working fine. I swear it is that 18.4.1  update I installed a few days ago.

Hey there user_8ed822 what troubleshooting have you tried so far? Often times deleting the app and then re-installing it may do the trick, let me know if that helps.

This is not the feeling we want, user_y5mj4d. Does this issue still occur, and if so, what channels are impacted?

Hi there, @bbcnyg! Sorry to hear about the trouble with audio on the app! Is this still happening? If so, is it on any channels in particular or all?

No, the issue seemed to stop when I ran an update to the Apple Home app that would, if I had it set up, allow control thru the app of all of my”smart” appliances. When it was happening it was not only on one station in Xfinity Stream, it was all of them. I rebooted my phone, removed the X Stream app and downloaded it again, which did not fix it. The Apple Home app update seems to have worked as no issues since then.
