No Sound on Fox News

Fox News has no sound, very suspicious. All other channels have sound on multiple TVs and boxes throughout home. Have reset router and TV boxes multiple times still no sound it’s Very suspicious.

This is certainly not the experience that we want you to have with your services and trying to watch your favorite stations @user_17b719. Are you still having this issue with no sound on Fox or has it cleared up? If so, did you attempt any troubleshooting steps, either general or through your MyAccount access? 

I no longer work for Comcast.

Are you talking about the streaming service or using the traditional cable service?

Is there a resolution for this issue anywhere? My streaming Xfinity does this as well. Only Fox News, I get sound for 3 seconds and then it goes off. The commercials work though...

I can't use the steaming service except on my computer. Linear cable works fine. I just checked the streaming service on my computer. Video and audio both worked fine.

@MNtundraRET​ I am streaming on my computer as well. I'm not the only one having this issue, I've seen others with the exact same problem. Every other channel and all the commercials on Fox News have sound. No one has come up with a solution?

On the Google web browser, I cannot stream the audio for the FNC for more than 1 or 2 seconds.  All other channels work just fine.  If I change browsers to Microsoft Edge, it works just fine (with audio).  Also, it works on the Xfinity streaming app on iPhone just fine.  So basically, I can safely conclude that this is a "problem" with the Google web browser and Xfinity stream website service compatibility.  However, it just doesn't make any sense that it would be specific to one channel.  It's a little bit confusing and could be misconstrued as purposeful by Google for the average prescriber since it's a single channel issue (with just the audio feed).  Initially, I just changed the news service, but didn't like the lousy coverage, so I dug into the other options.  Mysterious. Makes you wonder.  Anyone else have a reasonable explanation for such a weird problem?

Same problem here. Clearly being censored by Comcast and / or Google.

Xfinity customers who are having the same issue, we should let Fox News know what this is happening.  I am sure they will find this very interesting.

If you are using Chrome, like I am, you need to delete all cookies for site "xfinity.com". You will have to log back in, but sound will be restored.

@user_e7eaca​ Thank you.  I had the exact same problem as everyone has stated.  I didn't know how to delete cookies from just Xfinity so I just cleared everything.  It worked and now I am watching The Five on Fox at work.  Thank you.

Only Fox News doesn’t work commercials have sound & every other channel work fine. Delete cookies? For one Chanel? [Edited: "Inflammatory/Political"]. I even hear a “touchpad” before the the newscast starts and then silence. Tried on 5 computers. When I use the same browser & login direct to fox news.com it works. Why would deleting cookies resolve anything when the commercials have sound on the same stream? Really?

Why does everyone instantly think everything is a conspiracy? It's a weird technical issue, and as noted, clearing cookies fixes it. It's possible some audio format was changed a bit and a cookie setting was pointing it at something else. It may be similar to the way secondary audio may be active, but may not always duplicate the original audio if no secondary language is available, resulting in no audio.

Did anyone find a solution for this? How long did this issue last?
I have a "no sound" issue, but with a different channel.
I tried the suggestions I found on the forum below, but they didn't help. 
Any other ideas? Thanks.

(1) If you have an X1 box, hit the down-arrow to show the time bar and options, then make certain that none of the icons on the lower left have a checkmark. If any do, you can scroll over and toggle it off.

(2) reset/restart your primary TV Box--pull the power cable out of your box for 3 minutes. Plug back in and check audio after the boot cycle.

Right after posting above, I tried something that I had already tried, and this time it worked:
"while watching a silent channel press the down button on the remote (not page down). then press the left button and go to SAP and press OK to turn that choice off. " -Rustyben 

Yesterday I tried changing the "audio program channel" on the smart tv that the cable box (adapter) was connected to, but today I switched the box to an old-fashioned TV and after figuring out how to change the SAP setting, I got the sound back on that one channel. Good luck all.
