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.

Hello @sfmanuel, thanks for reaching out to us! We will be happy to help with your audio issue! Have you had a chance to reset the box to see if that helps? Any audio issues when you're not using headphones?

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.

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.

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.
