Sound Cutting Out

@user_11c14b if this effecting all three cable boxes then there has to be signal loss within the home. I would like to look at your signals and test your equipment.

Could you please send our team a private message with your full name and full address? I can most definitely take a further look at your audio issues.

How about if you just send me a direct message?   

@user_11c14b​ push back, they will help eventually. You can't deal with the typical customer service drones though, you have to start emailing VPs. 

Intermittent loss of volume and sometime programs freeze!!!! For the amount we pay at this point I would hope this issue gets resolved AGAIN!

Unfortunately they don’t seem to care.  I pay nearly $6000 / year with Comcast (two locations), yet treated with poor customer service.  

Hello @user_11c14b! This is definitely never the experience we want for you or the feeling we want you to have. I would love the opportunity to help you and turn this experience around. 

Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? I'll be happy to help you with your billing and service concerns.

@Pdandy​ Im having the same issue. Its irritating. If I call and complain pretty much nothing will be done. I spend about 190 a month and having to deal with this. If anything the service should be spot on without issues.

We had a tech here today and he thought he found a bad cable that was causing the sound issue. I changed the bad cable going into a bedroom and thought it was fixed but it started happening again and the sound cutting out is worse than what it was. I am at a loss on what to do now. It has to be something with the broadcast signal because so many people have the same issue. It also happens on my three TV's.

I am still having the same sound issue since October with no solution to the problem in site. I have had tech service at my house four times where they changed the wiring coming into my house as well as the connection from the telephone pole. I also had a Technical Operations Supervisor come to my house and nobody at Comcast can figure out the problem on the bad signal from their location. They have since done nothing and i am still having the problem. Can anybody tell me how this issue can be fixed and what i need to do as it doesn't seem like Comcast knows how to eliminate the sound cutting out. 

We are having the same issue, and this has been happening for at least 2 months!!! What else are we supposed to do if Xfinity doesn't want to do anything about it!!!! I guess look for another provider. I'm also paying WAY too much since they raised prices again!

Thanks for commenting on our Community Forums page to let us know about your audio concerns, @Pdandy. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening for two months without a resolution. Definitely, not the experience we would like you to have. Have you completed any troubleshooting on your end? Rebooting the Box, and checking the HDMI connection is a good place to start. Let me know if that helps. 

I have done all the troubleshooting but still have issues with sound/volume cutting out!!

Thank you so much for keeping us posted, @Pdandy and we'll stick with you here until we reach a resolution together. I love watching TV to relax at the end of the day so I'd be frustrated if I had to deal with audio issues. Have you tried a new HDMI cable? Have you tried a different HDMI port on your TV? Please give me a list of the steps you've tried so we don't have to repeat anything. 

@stevegarb​ I smell a class action coming... They might want to start handing out credits...

Does anybody out there have a solution to fix the sound cutting out on certain channels. It has been 5 months since it started, and the tech group has no idea how to fix it. I really don't know what to do as I had the techs here four times with all the cables changed and they have since given up but the problem remains.

We truly appreciate your time working with us on our Xfinity Forums. If you would like to continue troubleshooting with us we would absolutely love to help you find a resolution. Just reach back out in our direct message we were working with you in. :)

I am having the same issue of sound cutting in and out on all TVs.  It is really annoying!  Calling Comcast or sending a private direct message is not helpful.  It is the usual "unplug your modem, "unplug your router", "refresh your X1 box" -- did that, been there.  My cables are fine, otherwise it would not be happening on all TVs.  The only thing I can think of is the amplifier on the utility pole behind my house or the hub at the end of my block.  Almost each time I have any type of problem, it is one of those two Comcast issues.  Good luck asking for a lineman!

Hello @Collateral! I realize how tiresome it is to deal with service issues and this is never the experience we want for you. I appreciate all the troubleshooting you've already done. It's important to us that you're getting the most out of your service, and we'd love to help.

A contractor for comcast ran new cable (underground) to my house from the telephone pole.  It was a process, and required multiple site visits.  That was my situation, yours may be different.  I was told that my 20-yr old cable had failed.  My advice is to be persistent and push back until your problem is resolved.  Good luck!

Just a comment on the sound cutting out for 2-3 seconds on certain channels on all three of my TVs for the past seven months. I might have finally found a solution. I went into the cable box set-up and went to the HDMI settings. You have three settings: L-PCM, Pass Through and Auto. I had the setting at Pass Through and changed it to L-PCM and the sound cutting out was eliminated. You might want to let the techs know of this fix so other people that has the same problem might be able to fix it by changing the cable box HDMI setting.
