Sound issues with streaming with app

Hello, We are and have been 2year XFinity cable, Internet and streaming customers. We are using the Roku access on the streaming TV’s. All others apps work beautifully but the XFinity app has consistent issues. We are looked for updates, uninstalled and reinstalled and we are currently experiencing sound issues. The sound volume goes down. We exit and no other apps have the issue as the sound then goes to normal. We go back into the XFinity app and it works for awhile then issues again. Please help!

@XfinityAirelle​ I’m unable to find the envelope as noted to further forward the issue. It is still happening & we are pretty much ready to give up!

Why is Xfinity asking for customers to direct message when there are numerous complaints from customers dating back to Oct 2022 all with the same issue? This issue started when they switched from the Beta version of the app. Customer Service can't help. You can reinstall the app and it doesn't fix anything. The sound issue only happen with Xfinity. 

Really Xfinity,  how long does it take to get this fixed? Where's the care, or commitment to service?

You have a great question about why we ask for people to come into direct message when others have been reporting the issue for some time now. We may do this to ask account related questions, to troubleshoot directly on your specific account, or for other reasons.

We like to keep things in public as much as possible, so others can be helped out. That brings me to some questions to you to further get an understanding of your specific issue.

What is the model number if your Roku?
What is the make and model of your TV?
Are you using an external audio system like a sound bar?
Is your Roku external or a Smart Roku TV?
As much information that you can provide is greatly appreciated. 

I no longer work for Comcast.

The problem still exists. I’ve had to re-explain, provide all the information & re-provide all the information and why can’t I just have this “handled” & by one person so it’s not this back and forth. Today’s technology should allow those helping to have access to the trail of communication so they are not starting all over with new techs each time.

There needs to be a class action law suit started for this issue. The volume issue on Roku only happens with Xfinity, nothing else. It started when they upgraded the Beta version of the app in October 2022, and their technicians have obviously been told to act like they don't know anything about it. I personally have put in two ticket and have spent countless amounts of time on the phone and direct messages to them. No solution and they will not give you any information on when the next upgrade will happen. This shit service has been happening nearly a year now but guess what....we are all still paying are monthly bill, and mine has even gone up over this time. Realy burns me up and it is even getting worse over time. I have family in multiple states and they all are dealing with this issue. I am using restraint while writing this since I am realy pissed to be paying $150 a month and have to keep turning the channel off and on the listen to the F-n show.

Another thing that burns me- when I came to XFinity they advised that the fire stick that we used would not work with their streaming. They advised that the Roku streaming device were compatible so we purchased them for the other TV’s. Then they change their app and those changes then allow the firestick to work but the one they suggested now doesn’t work!!!!!

We have been Comcast customers for over 30 years.  Always with cable boxes.  Switched to Xfinity stream about a year ago and have been having the same sound issues as being discussed in these forums: sound goes out of sync, sound gets loud, sound gets soft, etc.  We have 4 Roku streaming sticks, all with the same issues, only with the Xfiniyt streaming app.  All the other apps work fine.  Clearly an intermittent issue with the Xfinity streaming app.  Comes out of nowhere.  Very frustrating.  We as Xfinity users are paying a lot of money each month and are getting more agrivated by the lack of serious reponses from Comcast.  Just saying our tech team is working on it for months and months is not a solution.  The only option for us as customers is to change to another provider.  No one wants to do that, but just trying to sit down and watch a program with the sound jumping all over the place randomly, is extremely disapppointing.
