Sound Issues - YouTube & Various Channels

We are consistently having issues with sound going out while streaming YouTube.  I mean, I don't mind sometimes because then I don't have to hear the [Edited: Language] my kids watch, but it is annoying and shouldn't happen.  It also happens on various other channels here & there.  To fix it, we have to either change the channel and come back, or when it's YouTube the kids have to rewind and then play again.  We've traded boxes and that didn't work.  We have no issues when watching Apple TV so I do not suspect it to be any other issue besides an Xfinity one.  I don't plan on unplugging the box or restarting anything anytime soon since this doesn't seem to be a personal problem.  I just want Xfinity to fix the issue.

@user_23b877 The YT on my PS4 sometimes will do that. I go home out of the app and back in to sync it again. Sounds like a general issue though if its happening on other content as well. Do you have a sound bar?

Same issue. YouTube sound stops working completely often on our Xfinity cable box. 

We do not have a sound bar. Audio goes through our TV only. All other sound works fine - TV channels, DVR, all other streaming apps. Only YouTube has this issue on the Xfinity cable box. 

You Tube sound is perfectly fine on all other devices in the house (phones, tablets, and Roku).

I always hear a "glitch" on most music videos I watch through the Xfinity You Tube app. it is usually just a 2 second

interruption, but enough to ruin the song. If I watch the same set of videos on the YouTube app on my Apple TV box or my computer,

it is perfect. This has been going on for over a year.

@tbill1 We appreciate you reaching out to let us know that you are receiving a glitch on the YouTube app while using our X1 platform. How often does the sound glitch happen? Can you tell us what troubleshooting steps you've already attempted?

 I have around 250 videos on my playlist.  It usually happens one time in a 4-6 minute video for 1-2 seconds.

It happens on 5 of my boxes. Any other way (device) I access those same videos results in perfect playback, so clearly

your app. I would prefer to use your app  because of my wireless headphone situation. Not much troubleshooting to 

do since YouTube is a "fixed" app to the X1 boxes.

@tbill1 Thank you for confirming that information for me. You can try to clear the locally stored data on the X1 box to see if that resolves the drops in audio. It will log you out of most third party apps on the devices, so you would need to log back into those. You can find the directions on how to clear the locally stored data here.
