Audio cutting out for last 2 weeks

Over the past 2 weeks we have been having issues with our X1 box.  The issue is that the audio cuts out for a couple seconds sporadically during live TV as well as on DVR recordings.  Sometimes it will cut out 7 or 8 time during an hour show and other times it can happen 20-30 times.  We have tried to reset the box a few times over the past weeks and that has not helped.  We find that the audio cuts out are being recorded on the DVR as we can rewind a show and experience the same cutouts at the same times.   This would indicated the issues is with the box itself versus our television.  

 

The information about our X1 box is…

STB Version: PX013AN_4.6p5s1_PROD_sey

Release Version: 126.2.0

XRE Protocol Version: 2.8.0

Receiver Native Version: 4.6.0

Environment: h1c-2t

 

Anyone else run into this and if so was there a solution?

Thank you.

Check all your cable connections inside your home. It sounds like a loose or dirty connection.

If that does not help your may need a tech. to check outside.

In our case we had to replace our X1 box.  With the new box in place it seemed to correct the issue.

Here’s my past ten moths. 

From day one Gateway cuts out and does not reset. No trouble found from customer service or website remote system checks. Technician came out nothing wrong within house. Something about line connection down the street. Never notified if that was fixed, but did resolve. I know now why it’s recommended to put Gateway in middle of room. You have to unplug it couple of times a week.  

On going pretty much since then audio glitching and sometimes video as well. Couple seconds. Worse at night. Again remote check by customer service nothing wrong. Got new STB boxes. That’s a whole nother story.  Did not resolve. Tech has been out and found nothing wrong. He mentioned setting in Gateway can cause this issue, but setting was correct.  

I think to myself when I came home last night, it’s almost a week without a glitch (longest in ten months) and turned on Phillies. Jinx!  Internet and TV going off for minutes at a time. Almost an hour. Website does not show outages. System check says no problems, but can not connect to X1 boxes. Isn’t that a problem? Went thru house unplugged all boxes and Gateway. Working again for now. Well I haven’t turned on TV this morning, so maybe. 

Oh yeah, xfinity customer service. Thought it was just overseas team, but store support is just as useless. Will leave that for later if I can find someone that cares.

I've been experiencing the same issue the last couple of weeks with audio randomly cutting out while streaming. I am using the Xfinity streaming box. After a few minutes of initial streaming the audio seemingly improves, but right when I get my hopes up, it starts cutting out again. Annoying to say the least. Is there a fix?

@user_93a955 Thanks for reaching out! 

The sound issue may be because the default audio track setting is disturbed. If you are using the TV box, you have to open the main menu and scroll down to the setup option. From setup, open the audio setup option and set the DAT to your desired language. Please let me know if this helps!

I am having the same issue with my new DVR which we have had for about 2 months but it has been acting like this for 3 weeks.  It happens on recordings as well as live but i think it is only happening on HBO.  I tried to switch off of the high def channel but it auto tunes to HD.  How can I get my HBO broadcast fixed?

Same problem here. My HBO DVR recordings have the sound cut out every 5 minutes or so for 15 seconds. It's super annoying.

Having the same issues only on HBO so far. Last night on Real Time with Bill Maher it was really bad. Sound kept going in and out, the picture would stutter and then go black. It's not happening on all the shows, just some of them. It's been for the last couple of weeks.
