audio cutting out but only on recorded shows streamed on website

This is really weird.  When I watch recorded shows from the website, the audio cuts out after about 2-5 seconds and doesn't come back.  There's no problem streaming live shows.  There's no problem watching and listening to the recorded shows on TV via the X1 box.  It's happening on all my recorded shows, including things recorded months ago before the problem started.

I'm watching the website with Safari on an iMac.  I've rebooted the iMac and rebooted the modem.  The problem started within the last week and I've never had this problem before over many years.

Anyone seeing something similar?  Any suggestions?

This is exactly what started happening to me - I was trying to watch the golden bachelor and was a few minutes behind so I started my recording, but after a few seconds it disappears and doesnt come back

Hello @lboocker, thanks for reaching out for help with your recorded streams. By chance have you noticed this issues on any other operating systems or browsers?

I only have one operating system and browser:  Safari version 17. My software is up to date. I've had no sound when playing back my recorded streams this week, whether recent recordings or old ones that have worked before.

@XfinityRyanE​ Funny you should mention that.  I just tried it with Edge instead of Safari and it works with no audio problems.  That doesn't completely let Xfinity off the hook.  I have no problem streaming anything else (and I use more than a dozen streaming sites) with Safari.  And I have no problem streaming live shows on Xfinity with Safari.  So it's only the combo of Safari and Xfinity recorded shows that causes the problem.  So I have a workaround (using Edge) but it would still be nice to get it working on Safari.

@XfinityDilary​ I am having the same problem.  Any solution that doesn't involve just using another browser?

Same thing started happening here on Tuesday, I think. I've never had this issue before. Have you found a way around this?

Obviously...xfinity has a major problem! I sure hope they solve it soon or I gone from xfinity!  I pay too much for their service and if it doesn't work, what good is it?

For a week now, when I try to watch recorded shows from youe Xfinity website on my Macbook, the audio cuts out after 2-5 seconds and doesn't come back.

(There's no problem streaming live shows.  There's no problem watching and listening to the recorded shows on my TV via the X1 box.)

It's happening on all my recorded programs, including ones I've previously watched without any issues.

I'm watch using the Xfinity website (no App available for your website) with Safari on my Macbook.  I've rebooted the laptop and and the X1 box.  The problem started 1 week ago. I only have Safari and I shouldn't have to download another browser to get my Xfinity service to work. I've had Comcast Xfinity for 17 yrs and everything worked up to 7 days ago. What's the fix, Xfinity?

Hello, @dperdmann Is your MacBook the only Apple device you have and can check the recordings on? Can you check your laptop to see if it has Apple's spatial audio? Then deactivate it and test the recordings again.
