Sound Out of Sync for On Demand Content

I use an Amazon Fire Stick with the Xfinity Stream application to watch Showtime Content - in this case Dexter Resurrection specifically.

The sound is not synced with the video. Tried logging in/out, restarting the device, network connection is fine. It also seems to happen on other Showtime content and not on some other content (all played via on Demand through the app).

The same process on the cable box and mobile do not appear to have this issue.

user_mp78x4 Thank you so much for stopping in for help with the audio delay you are running into on your Firestick with the Showtime content. That would be frustrating and I know Dexter is something you need to pay attention to especially now that he is back! Since you are not running into an issue on other devices I would focus on the Firestick. Since you are using the app if there are any connection issues with the stick I can be reflecting in audio as well as the image. Check to make sure the you have a good connection to your home network on that device. Next you may want to clear the cache for the stream app on the fire stick. navigate to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications. Then, select the app you're having trouble with, and choose "Clear Cache".


If that does not help let me know.

I have the same problem trying to stream any program in the app now, on multiple fire sticks and fire TVs.  My internet connection is fine and I just tried clearing the app cache.  No impact, sound is delayed relative to video.

Clearing cache did not work for me either. It does not appear to happen because of internet speed. The connection is fine.

user_mp78x4 Thank you for letting me know you are also running into audio issues. If you are still having issues, could you tell me what other steps you have already tried for troubleshooting, other than clearing the cache?

Hi @user_endnv9,
For a moment there, the silence on this post had me thinking these were fully resolved. Are you noticing this issue with other programming as well?

@XfinityJustinM​ we are all having the same problem. Its ALL showtime on demand programs. Yellowjackets, dexter, mobland... every single on demand program on showtime. I do not have this issue with any other channel on demand or any channel period. You need to fix this.

user_8gy1yc I appreciate the update and am sorry to hear that it continues to happen. For clarity with what others have provided, are you also only running into issues through the Xfinity Stream app, or have you tried through a TV box or another device outside of a Fire stick/TV?

The out of sync voices only occur on demand with the xfinity stream app with the showtime channel. For example when I am streaming from my phone. Its been happening for a long time.

user_8gy1yc thank you for clarifying. When was the last time the app was updated, signed out and signed back in?

I see the same thing for all On Demand content on Univision using the Xfinity Stream app. It is very consistent and can't be fixed by restarting anything, and I see the behavior regardless of my connection. The sound delay is 3 or 4 seconds,  making the content unwatchable. Live TV on the channel is fine.

Hello @user_to1xx1, thank you for your comment. If you are still having issues, what device are you using to access the Xfinity Stream app?

Thank you for letting us know! I'm sorry to learn you're still having issues, user_to1xx1. This is not the experience we want. Just to confirm have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if it helps? Does it have this same issue when using another device?

Yeah, it doesn't seem to help. Re-installed, and there is the same 3 second delay on every show. I don't see the problem on my tv with a dedicated streaming box. The tablet Stream app definitely shows the issue consistently, however. Live feeds also don't suffer.

I realized today that it isn't every show on Univision, but only the telenovelas. And not until after the first commercials. I think it may have to do with the screen that shows up and says "presenta" for these shows. I think this screen throws the audio out of sync and is embedded in the content in some way.

Same issue with all showtime and mgm+ on demand titles.

This has been going on for years. Xfinity has to be aware by now as there are dozens of posts over the last 4 years with the same complaint. And yet, no solution. For the $280 a month I pay to Xfinity for TV and Internet alone you'd think audio sync wouldn't be an issue I'd still be dealing with years after first brining this to their attention.

I agree. Let’s keep posting and maybe they’ll finally address it. Based on the history of my user experience with the xfinity stream app, I’m 99% sure it’s a system issue on the Comcast end.

For showtime content specifically, it’s a shame we need to rely on this apps on demand specifically and they can’t work out a partnership for us to use the paramount app directly - we deserve that capability if we pay for our subscriptions that love to advertise “paramount+ with Showtime” (or whatever) - I’ll digress but this is pretty ridiculous.

keep on posting

please put pressure on the issue and keep us informed of when we can try again to see if addressed.

it is very frustrating and appears to be a consistent issue on all type of devices. I’m 99% sure the issue is on the Comcast side of things and it’s interesting that it takes this long and these many posts over so many years to fix it. Cheers.

Hey there, @Dxdog666, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding your issues with the audio on Showtime and MGM+. We would be happy to help with troubleshooting as I know how important it is to have working audio. What device are you using to watch these on-demand titles? Are you using an Amazon Fire Stick?

It’s happening to me on Starz. I have tried all the fixes listed here. I have a fire stick. Funny  it works on my cell just fine. 

I guess I could pay another subscription fee to Starz on their app and hope it works. 

I agree that what I pay monthly this should work!

user_xhnrkl Hello and thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Community Forums. I'm so sorry to hear you're also experiencing that annoying audio/video sync issue! It sounds incredibly frustrating, especially since you're seeing it exclusively on Showtime content and only on your Android phone. It's understandable that this is causing an issue with your viewing experience, and I truly appreciate you letting us know. It definitely helps us to see that other users are running into similar problems on different devices, which points toward an issue we need to investigate more closely. To help us narrow down what might be going on, could you please tell me what troubleshooting steps you've already attempted on your Android phone?
 
For example, have you tried any of the following:

* Force closing and reopening the Xfinity Stream app?

* Uninstalling and reinstalling the Xfinity Stream app?

* Restarting your Android phone?

* Checking for updates to the Xfinity Stream app or your phone's operating system?

 

Any details you can share about what you've tried will be a great help!

What is the fix for this Xfinity? I'm paying for MGM+ but can't watch the content due to the horrible audio delay. I've tried clearing cache, restarting, disconnecting sound bar. It happens on all my devices, I have several fire tv sticks, fire tv cubes, it happens on all of them.
