sound dropping out

I have been experiencing sound dropping out for a few seconds, only when viewing recorded shows. It occurs on all recordings irrespective of channel or time of day. I have experimented with changing the HDMI cable and also switching it to each of the 3 HDMI ports on the smart TV and there is no difference. I've also verified that sound doesn't drop out watching on-demand shows either. Everything works fine while watching live TV. I've seen a number of similar posts complaining of sound dropping out but haven't seen anything definitive.

@user_89ae7aThank you so much for visiting our Xfinity Community Forums for additional assistance with audio on your recordings. I appreciate the details provided and troubleshooting performed. 

 

Do you have any speakers or third party (e.g. surround sound systems) sound equipment you can disconnect or remove to troubleshoot without these?

I only have the TV's speakers. Since my post I've further experimented by stopping a recording right after a sound dropout, backing it up a minute or so and then replaying. The sound dropout occurs again exactly at the same place. This eliminates any possibility the problem is in the cables. It's clearly either in the recording itself or in the decoding software. I don't know enough about the TV box to judge whether that is in the box or in the transmission.
