Stream App volume fluctuations  (low to really loud)

For the past maybe month or so there has been some very annoying and concerning volume fluctuations watching the stream app through Roku. (multiple tvs, multiple channels). It corrects itself when I hop out and go back in however late at night when I am sleeping and the volume skyrockets it wakes me up and in some instances starts to crackle my speakers being so loud. Other times it reduces to so low that it can't be heard. 

I have rebooted devices, reinstalled the app, checked app and Roku for updates. All that seems to be on the up and up. This is not at commercial breaks as used to be with comcast in general, but during shows, and even the music channels.  This is very annoying and now looking at sound bars with the capability to balance those fluctuations (ie DRC) if it is even possible.  Any help is most appreciated.

The same exact thing has been happening to all of our TV’s over the last month. We called Comcast and got nowhere.

Hello there!
Thank you for reaching out and taking the time to bring this to our attention! We can certainly understand the annoyance it could cause with going so low, then high volume! We'd be happy to help out!
It sounds like you're off to a great start with troubleshooting!
May I ask, at the present moment, are you currently using any sound bar of sorts? I know you'd mentioned having been looking at them! But had not known whether or not there was already one in the equation or not! Also, do you by chance know the model of Roku device you are currently using? We hope to hear from ya soon! 🙂

@XfinityChelseaA​ Thanks Chelsea and no, I do not currently have a soundbar. I am using the Roku Streaming Stick model 3810x using software 11.5.0.4235.

Of course! It's our pleasure to help out! Do you by chance ever see any particular error message or code that appears when streaming? Or before/after the sound issues occur at all? Or does everything else seem to function as normal? 

I no longer work for Comcast.

@XfinityChelseaA​ No error messages. Everything else functions as normal, though I have been noticing the guide and recent shows screen takes a little while longer to load. Sometimes the guide does not update, for future time slots.

Same exact thing is happening to me on multiple devices. This is an issue with Xfinity Stream App that they need to correct. It is not individual Roku Devices/Televisions/soundbars causing this.

We have had the same problem the last couple of months. The volume will go up to earsplitting high to nearly silent at different times. We have a sound bar and are using a Roku device. It doesn't happen on any other apps we stream, only on the Xfinity Stream. If we exit the program and come back it will correct itself. NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!

@user_a0d608​ So a soundbar is not helping to balance the sound? Does it have a DRC setting?

@dansgen1alero I have a Roku device connected to a TV with a soundbar where this problem occurs and also a Roku device connected to a TV without a soundbar with the same issue. This appears to be an issue with the Xfinity app. I agree with @alpaca-dutidu comment to rollback the Xfinity Stream update which is causing this.

@user_24bd18​ - I have the same issue as described over the past month.  We are standardized on Roku's.  One TV with built-in Roku software, an external Roku streamer on wifi and a Roku streambar connected direct ethernet over USB 2.0 dongle.   All are at Roku OS 11.5.x and have the problem.  We only see it in the Xfinity Stream app.  Please advise when you will roll back the app or provide a patched version.

In addition to this volume issue using Roku, when the volume fluctuates (up or down) I also lose the ability to go BACK or PREVIOUS, or anything at all. I must leave the app and come back in, then do the same thing moments later. Sometimes BACK takes you to a darkened screen which still means you have to leave and return to the app. Seriously annoying. 
is it possible to just rollback the offending updates until you get this right, X?

I have a sound bar and have the same exact issues. Only with the xfinity app on the Roku. All the other apps on the Roku are fine. Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ all do not have the volume issue.

We are having the exact same issue with the Stream app on all our Roku devices. This is the only app having this issue. This is after upgrading to the xFi gateway and 1200 Mbps service, thinking we didn't have enough bandwidth. After reading all the other comments, seems like the issue is with the app itself. Hoping a more stable update is rolled out soon.

That is certainly odd that the issue is happening across all of your Roku devices. Have you noticed this happening on a specific type of Roku model? Does restarting the application clear up the issue for all Roku devices or only that specific one?

Still waiting on clear response from comcast. Only thing they have done is confirm my account.  No troubleshooting steps have been mentioned or what they have looked into so far.

@dansgen1alero​ did you get a response yet? This is the exact same thing happening on my brand new Samsung TV. I was planning on calling Samsung tomorrow thinking it was our TV. The channel.guide takes forever to load as well.??

It has to be their streaming app

@user_be2d51​ Nothing definitive. They are still working on it. Called me had me uninstall app (channel), unplug the stick, rebooted my modem and sent a new signal, and readd the app/channel. 1 hour later blaring sound from my poor crackling speakers. So they are still working on it. 

I really think they need to roll back the 10/26/22 version of the stream app and start that revision from scratch.

I am so glad to find this thread-same issues on all ROKU devices. After trying every fix I could think of, I was beginning to suspect an Xfinity issue. It started after they started the rebuild in our neighborhood.

Having the same issue as all others posted here. I've tried all of the troubleshooting tips. The maddening part of this issue is that the volume problem goes in and out during a program. It's time for Xfinity to look inward. There is a problem with the app not the users. Please fix.

Same issue from Xfinity stream app audio on multiple TVs running Roku with and without soundbars.this only happens when using the Xfinity app, none of these audio issues (extreme high and low volumes, lag audio sync, etc) appear on huku, Netflix, Paramount or other apps. Definitely an Xfinity issue that needs to be solved.

I am still waiting for their reps to get back to me since "resending a signal" did nothing.  And since it is not just me, that would not solve everyone elses issues.  I am now certain they need to roll back the 10/26/22 update/revision, until they get it fixed.   Roll It Back!!!
