Flex Bluetooth audio delay when using Bluetooth headphones

For some time now the audio coming to my Bluetooth Beats headphones have gaps in the audio along with a delay / no sync with video. I’ve seen another post from April 2022 regarding a possible Flex firmware update breaking Bluetooth connectivity but I connect can pair my headphones just fine. Anyone else hearing this behavior?

i have tried disconnecting and forgetting the device. I will try my Apple earbuds next and update this post.

I am having the same problem and I have “forgot the device” to my AirPods and re-connected multiple times and I tried restarting my flex device just now as well and the problem did not resolve. I haven’t been able to even use my flex box for weeks now because I only watch tv in the bedroom at night when my husband is asleep, which is why I need the headphones. :(

Has anyone gotten any solutions from this?  I'm running into the same problem with my bluetooth soundbar and the flex unit.  It worked perfectly on a previous flex, then started to get out of sync.  I've restarted, refreshed, done everything to correct it, I even went to an Xfinity store and got a new flex unit but it does the same thing.  When it does connect, sometimes I'll hear a click occasionally and it will start with less delay and get more delayed over time.

@XfinityRichard​ it’s not a problem with pairing them, I pair them just fine. The audio and video just are not synced at all and nothing I do seems to sync them. The audio is very very delayed to the picture.

Hello,

Today I un-paired my Beats Bluetooth headset from Flex then performed a System Refresh (what is a System Reset?)

I then re-paired my headphones and still experience the same reported audio issue.

I do not have issues with Audio when listening via the TV speakers.

Please advise if we can perform a live troubleshooting session today.

Thanks.

Manuel

Same issue here with Bluetooth speakers. Very obnoxious trying to watch a movie. Pretty much impossible. 
 How about instead of side lining the problem Comcast addresses the issue openly in the forum? Unless Comcast just doesn't want to admit they have no solution other than reseting the decice over and over until people give up.

@user_ed635c​ yep, I’ve stopped using the device entirely and replaced it with an Amazon Fire Stick, which has no audio/video Bluetooth issues whatsoever!

This is still happening after October patch updates.  Xfinity support, if I go to the store and get the 4K flex box and return my current flex box, is this Bluetooth headphone audio lag issue still going to show up?  I have no lag issue with Chromecast Google tv, and Amazon fire stick.

Today I got the 4k flex tv box from local xfinity store and returned the non-4k flex tv box, and I'm reporting that the audio lag issue is no longer happening on the 4k flex tv box.

Thanks @MNDaveZ - I guess I will need to go and exchange my Flex box since I still have the Bluetooth issue. Here is my current boxes config.

I did think that my box was a 4K Flex but I guess not.

@sfmanuel Let me know if you have had a chance to swap out your Flexbox and if you are still encountering issues with your Bluetooth options.

Is returning the box the working solution at this point?

Unfortunately I have not had a chance to swap out our Flex set top box. I will try to get out to the Xfinity store next week.

Is there any fix to this solution, audio lapse is soo bad that I can change channels and in 20 seconds it’s still giving me the audio on the previous channel. I have an xi6 and is not a newer flex box, however I don’t have a flex account. Bluetooth device works perfect on other devices. Issue is also happening on my xg1v4 main dvr. So it cannot be a device issue. Must be firmware. I am a Comcast employee(fulfillment tech) so I’ve thrown everything at this before swapping the box. But to me it can’t be just a box issue when it’s happening to both Bluetooth compatible x1 devices. Any fix, been going on for months now.

@Leeland37​ xi6 looks like the one I had but remote looks different when I Google search.  I think you want to swap out yours with latest model.  Here is a picture of mine, XiOne-SC (A).  This is the one I got from store when I swapped out my old flex box.

The xione is for flex. I have a video account. My wireless box is hardwired to the modem because of the upstream levels of where I live. It’s happening on my 4K dvr also(xg1v4).

Even went as far a factory resetting first clearing the remote (holding down A&D then 981) then to factory reset the box (hold down the power button 5 seconds, select/OK,right button,down button, power) still same issue after finishing setup.
