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.

With all of these customers experiencing the same issue and Comcast not doing anything about it, does anyone have a suggestion for another company that we could switch to and say bye bye to Xfinity?

Working with an Xfinity agent has apparently not worked for anybody. The app is broken. It needs to be fixed. It’s beginning to sound like somebody’s job is on the line if they admit to the problem.

@user_8448e0​ They should be working on version 6.10 which we are being told will correct this issue.

Hey, @user_8448e0! Have you tried to update the Stream app to see if it resolves the issue for you? You can also delete the Stream app, and download it again. Let us know if it clears the issue up or not.

Same sound fluctuation problem here. Only on the Xfinity app on Roku. Every single other app is perfect. It's an Xfinity app problem, so fix it please.

REPLY FROM COMCAST:  Hey, thank you for reaching back out again. I apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience while I was checking. It looks like they are still working on a fix for the audio issue as well as a few other issues. There still isn't a release date but we will continue to keep an eye out on the ticket.

@Ebpoje01​ Yup since the 10/26 version upload. At least they have acknowledged it and working on the new version. That was the hardest part.

That is not good enough. They should have an official notice on the Xfinity site with a time when it will be fixed. Over 2 months to fix something like this is inexcusable and it just shows a disregard for the customer satisfaction.

Add me to the list of everyone else.  Only happens on the xfinity app on Roku since they upgraded from the beta version.  Volume suddenly gets so loud or so low on two separate TVs.  One TV I had to switch the volume to level 0 and still had volume. It is frustrating and not solved in a very long time.

@CHURCH_247​ the only way I can get it to stop for a while is to back out of the program I am watching and then return. I am setting my sleep timer at night so it doesn’t blast me after I fall asleep. 

I have 2 open tickets on the issue but of course no resolution.

I am showing that our Engineering team is aware of and working on this issue. We do not have an estimated time of when it will be resolved but will update the thread at that time. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work on this.

I’ve been having the same issue for weeks. Frustrating. Looking at alternate services given all the posts that Xfinity is “working on it” and is not providing full credit for a faulty app with bad service.

We have had this issue since this summer. I don’t think it’s just related to the last update in October. We have attempted just about everything possible and Xfinity owes everyone including us bill credits for this. You cannot keep charging for something that does not work correctly.

I am not going to sit through another song and dance with support so if that's your answer to this is to message, then please find my contact info and message me. This forum access is by using your Xfinity account correct? Making people jump through hoops to get a support ticket is ridiculous. 

There is clearly an issue and you are repeating the same steps over and over like we cannot read. We are responding to others having the same issue so if anyone is not understanding, it seems to be Xfinity

Another user here having the same issues as above. Has anyone been successful in obtaining a credit? I've had to stop watching tv using this app it's so inconsistent.

@user_08f551​ I have been calling them every 2 weeks and getting various credits including a $25 credit for poor customer service from a tech rep. I am going to visit the store after the holidays and cut the cord

I just chatted with four different agents until someone somewhat understood my ask and gave me a $20 credit.
I recently purchased Verizon 5G home internet for $25/mo (price locked in for 10 years!) with no charge for the router. You're also NOT locked in a contract.

The speeds are faster than what I have with Xfinity for a fraction of the price. They also give you a 30-day trial period to test it out. So far, it's working great! 
Along with that and using a different service for TV shows, I will be saving quite a bit each month.

It’s pretty spectacular that this hasn’t been resolved yet. 3+ months of a service we pay for not working correctly.

Yet another user having the same issue on all ROKU devices. Eagerly awaiting the update to fix this issue. As a computer programmer, I can tell you that since there is no firm release date it is indicative of the developers not knowing exactly what the problem is and how to go about fixing it. Checking my service now to see if I have alternatives to Xfinity as this shouldn’t be so complicated especially since it worked in prior versions.

Same thing here as well.

Not sure how they have not done a small update for the issue that's now 2 months old.

Hi, @user_83db97. Thank you for your comment and letting us know you've seen similar issues on your end as well. I'm sure this has been frustrating, but we are here to help. Can I get more details about your situation? Are you noticing this problem across all the devices in the home? Are you using a Roku device to stream, or are you using other equipment?

Yeah, this has been going on for way too long considering how much the charge.. I would think they'd give some sort of credit.  Who am I kidding, we're talking about Comcast/Xfinity here. They probably read these and laugh at us.
