Streaming app audio problem

We have a problem with the audio on the streaming app. Only the Xfinity stream app is having issues on our Roku. Sudden volume changes to extreme highs and lows. There are times video and audio are out of sync as well. The only thing that temporarily fixes it is to back out of the app and then start it up again. This has to be done several times a day. The app is just not sending audio data properly.

Probably safe to say this is affecting everybody at this point. I have little ones I cannot use the service I wildly overpay for because I will wake my baby when the volume uncontrollably blasts to full volume. Hopefully there are service interruption credits because of the service is unusable while I’m still being billed for it it’s only fair. Comcast has no problem charging customers for excess data so it needs to go both ways here. Have you ever tried to watch out of sync programs, it’s nauseating. It’s also embarrassing when I have people over to watch football.

@user_2108bf, Please let us know if you are still having issues. One thing to try on your own is running a System Refresh. You can do this from the Xfinity My Account app. Just click on TV and then troubleshoot.

It is January 22nd and I am still having the same problem that has been reported by everyone else in this thread. The problem started after the xfinity streaming app came out of beta. There was no audio problems with the beta version. I am streaming to a few tvs and they are unwatchable due to this problem. Please, either roll back to the beta version or issue a quick fix before I consider switching providers. Thank you.

Trust me they are aware of the problem and they said they are working on it. 
I was able to find the email address for the Vice President of Customer Relations and within an hour I had the escalation team call me. Then the engineers called. So it is in the works. Mine has gotten better today. Not as many low volume drops. Let’s hope they figure this out.

Thank you for that reassurance. However, until it is completely fixed, xfinity needs to roll back to the beta version so we all can watch television in peace. Thanks for your feedback.

Hello all, we appreciate you all for posting and sharing your experience with the audio issues on the Roku devices.

@user_99e175 is correct. Our engineers are aware of a known issue that is affecting these devices nationally, and are actively working to get this resolved as soon as possible. Although we don't have an ETA at this time, once a fix is in place, you should no longer have this problem. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

I can confirm this event as I have experienced it on my tv as well.  I am using a Roku Streaming Stick plugged into a Coby TV.  Issue occurs only using the Xfinity Streaming App and can occur on any channel.

We’ve been experiencing this same issue for the past several months across all our Roku devices waiting for a ‘fix’. 

@Xfinity- we pay more than enough for services to work correctly and I’m among those growing increasingly frustrated with the services provided by the platform. 

When can we expect a simple fix on this app?

This is a long time issue we've been having and it really needs to get fixed.  No excuses.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us @Mowse. The posted workaround on this thread was to complete an account refresh from the app. Did you try this? That being said, I am not seeing a permanent solution listed here. I would be happy to check on that, as well as help you get this fixed. Let's dive a little deeper into your account. We can circle back around to the public board once we have this fixed for you with an update.

 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different) and service address? To send a direct message, please click the chat icon next to the bell in the upper right corner. Click the “notepad and pen” button. Send the full message to our shared support handle “Xfinity Support”. We look forward to hearing from you!

@user_f5ea44 Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us here. As the post above states, the account refresh has been a workaround that has worked for others reporting the same issue but we are aware the issue is still taking place if this does not work. While we cannot specifically notify you when this is resolved, you are more than welcome to monitor this thread. Our team is aware that this is happening and we are working on a fix to prevent other users from being impacted by this.

Having to restart the app every time this issue occurs is not a solution.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know about this, @swimski. We know how upsetting it is to have this kind of issue with the Stream app, and it's not the experience we want you to have at all. Please know that our team is aware of the issue, and we're working to get this resolved as soon as possible. We will be checking back here to ensure you, and all of our valued customers are provided an update as we have it. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you in the meantime.

We wanted to update this thread and let you know we still do not have a solution from Roku. This is an issue on their end that is, unfortunately, causing problems for many different apps. Please feel free to reach out at any time, and we can check again to check for a solution from Roku. Thank you!

I've had this problem for months

XFinity Stream app version 6.10.0

Roku Streambar Pro 9101R2 Software version 11.5.0 build 4312-95

It would have led me to cancel my service, but there are no other internet providers in my area... such a racket

Same issue here. Been happening for years since this app was in beta. It’s really annoying.

We have the Audi / Video sync issues on one of our Rokus using Xfinity app. The other 2 Rokus we have have the volume goes to very loud issue. Both of these issues have been going on for MONTHS. It's quite obvious Xfinity does NOT care. I think we put a man on the moon faster than Xfinity is addressing this issue. ... It's YOUR app, so don't try to blame ROKU. ... Xfinity, your fees are outrageous and your service [Edited: "Language"], and your support [Edited: "Language"] even more.

I have seen this problem for a long time and now it is much worse as the sound degrades more often than it ever has!

@user_b7de66​ Just had fiber service run to my house, as soon as they get it installed I will be switching from Xfinity. That may be the only solution to this problem.

@user_b7de66, I do know there are certain Roku's that are supported. We will need to make sure your version of the Stream app is up to date. Devices must be on minimum firmware version 8.1 b1 or higher. The Xfinity Stream channel will only appear in the Roku channel store for eligible devices. 

To give customers the best streaming experience, we stopped updating the Xfinity Stream app on 2017 Roku devices in October 2022. 

What kind of Roku device is it you are currently using?

What do you mean you stopped updating the Stream App on Roku devices since 10/22?  we need it updated as this has been an issue since October of 2022. We will be pushing a year in the near future of this issue?  At what point in the R&D, production, coding or testing  is the engineering department at right now?

Has there been a resolution to the audio issues with Xfinity streaming?

Hello, @user_936b03! We apologize for this inconvenience. Roku fix teams are aware of the issue and are engaged in working to resolve it. However, Roku may not deploy a fix for a few months. Thank you for your understanding and patience as Roku works to fix the problem. In the meantime, customers can enjoy content using Xfinity Stream, online and through the app, on a compatible non-Roku streaming device, where sound quality should not be affected.

It is now July 2023 and this issue still exists.  We have a Roku stick with 4k with a Samsung 4k TV.  No other streaming channels have this issue, just Xfinity.  

Do you have plans to ever fix this, or do you just want us to have to rent a box from you so we have to use cable?  It is more expensive for us that way.
