Intermittent Garbled Sound

While watching tv on the main box only, there is intermittent garbled sound nearly every time we watch it. It will be totally fine, and then the sound gets messed up and sounds almost like you’re talking into a fan. It happens using the DVR, On Demand, any of the apps, like Hulu or Netflix, through the Xfinity box, and sometimes even while watching like tv. Changing the channel or exiting the app will fix the problem, but it’s very disruptive. We’ve tried resetting the signal, tightening and switching all the cords, and resetting the box. The problem remains for months now. Any ideas?

@LisaLPharmD Hi there! Thanks for the post, but sorry to learn about the cable box problem. Have you 100% made sure the issue is coming from the box and not the tv? I ask because the same problems are happening with third party apps.

@XfinityJodie​ Yes, it’s definitely not the tv, because we do not have the issue while watching DVDs or using our firestick or Apple TV device.

@LisaLPharmD  I appreciate you letting me know the same issues isn't taking place with other devices hooked up to the TV, and the troubleshooting steps you've taken so far with checking all the connections and the box refresh.

Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address to have a closer look at this?

I can tell you I'm experiencing the same thing she is, but mine only started after upgrading from the hd box to the smaller 4k box just the other day. It's definitely Xfinity's 4k box that's causing it for me. Need help Xfinity please

Also, to add, the intermittent sound only happens when watching unrecorded and recorded dvr shows, but not the apps

We, too, have been having this same issue.  Wish there was a fix.
