Roku Streambar audio fluctuations (70% reduction in volume, intermittent short bursts of loud crackling audio)
Ticket [Edited: Personal Information] currently open to Roku support to solve.
When using the Xfinity Stream app, audio fluctuations are experienced after 20-30 minutes of viewing. There is a click or snap in the audio stream followed by an ~70% reduction in volume with sparse intermittent pops of expected volume. This video is an example of the reduced volume with snaps and pops. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ju7ex7wXx3MVGdMD8
This is a pervasive issue that has been reproduced on three different Roku Streambars at three bespoke locations. Issue exists on Roku Streambar only. Streaming sticks have been used with the same TVs and networks and no issues discovered. The issue is resolved by closing the Xfinity stream app, returning to the Roku home screen, and launching the Xfinity Stream app again. Audio fluctuations appear again within 20-30 minutes of viewing. Please escalate this ticket to the product development team
This issue has been discussed in Roku and xfinity forums

@user_a1tesu, thank you for your post about the audio fluctuations on Roku. This is not an Xfinity issue, and it isn't isolated to the Xfinity Stream app. This issue may occur with other apps viewed through Roku. Roku has confirmed this is an issue on their end, caused by a software update to their devices that they initiated. Roku is working to resolve it, but it may be several months before a fix is implemented.
Edit: I am editing to add that our last update was 5 hours ago. The Roku team is still investigating a code fix. Our teams are working directly with Roku teams to get this fixed.

This is also (and has been) on the streaming sticks for over 2 years. The original xfinity post is mine as well as repost twice (since xfinity closed the other 2). Rokus continues to say it is not their responsibility because it only happens on the zfinity app and no other channels. Rokus does not maintain the apps/channels and I have still been in touch with xfinity who has finally escalated to engineering who asks for video clips every couple weeks. Hopefully a fix will come this year.....
