Lip Syncing problem on Firestick app

I saw a similar post, and was told that there had been a solution. I did not see a solution, just some questions.

Anyhow, I am using the Stream app on the Firestick. I recorded an AMC program and the audio and visual are totally out of sync. This has never happened before when I've recorded this same program. I have multiple Firesticks and they are acting the same way. All of my other recordings are fine. This happened a month or so ago with a CBS recording. I had never had a problem until then. This same program does not have a problem when I view it using the website or an Ipad. It is only with the Firestick app. I have reset the Firestick, cleared the cache and reinstalled the app. Nothing has fixed the problem.

Most newer televisions have a lip syncing option. It is most likely under the "Audio" menu.

Use the tv remote to handle this.

This only happens randomly on a few shows. There isn't any problem with lip syncing on 99% of the recorded programs.

Hi @suesheba , thank you for being an active part of our community. I hope your day has been fantastic so far! Since this is only happening on a few specific shows/channels let me investigate a little further. I appreciate the time you have spent making sure it is not an issue that could be fixed easily with a few basic troubleshooting steps. What is the show? Is it a specific episode? I am sure working together we will get to the bottom of this.

It was on two shows. I haven't had it happen again on the same show. I'll repost if it happens again.

I have noticed the same thing on multiple Firesticks and multiple DVRs. (Xfinity just had me update my DVR to a new model and the problem still persists). I am currently seeing this on Magnum PI recorded 7/24 and Miracle Workers recorded 8/03 as well as numerous recordings in the past. If it makes any difference it does seem to be more common on unusual channels like TBS or AMC. I don't think I could watch any of the Walking Dead I recorded via my firestick because of this issue and had to watch them on the TV directly connected to the DVR.

I have the same issue. I have an Insignia tv with built-in firestick. When watching a pre-recorded show on ABC General Hospital it is out of sync and I can't watch it at all. Is there a fix to this? I can watch on my laptop and everything is fine.

Now it seems to have gone from an occasional problem to a consistent problem. EVERY program I have being streamed using the Stream app on the Firestick has a lip sync problem. No other apps have this problem. I don't think you can call it a Firestick issue. It's an issue with the Stream app on the Firestick. Unwatchable and unusable.

I am happy to hear this issue is no longer occurring! Every now and then I find myself running into the same issue if I leave the application or device using the Stream app running for too long and typically get the issue resolved with a quick power cycling by unplugging the device completely from the power for a minimum of a full minute to restart the device manually.

Have you experienced this issue in the past or was this the first time this issue has happened?
