Sound constantly breaking down

Using the Xfinity Stream App on Roku. The sound will all of sudden just crackle then drop, sound robotic, sound like it is going through a fan. If I back out go to the menu and come back to the show the sound is great. FOR THE TIME BEING. Already did diagnostics with Roku. No issues with sound or buffering (oh, constant buffering with your app) on any other app or streaming service. The speed to Roku is Excellent over 110 mbps average so there shouldn't be issues with buffering with sound. So what is the issue before I make a decision to drop Xfinity TV service. AND NO IT ISN'T THE WEBSITE IT IS THE ROKU APP

Hello @user_bc7d4a and thank you for reaching out about the issue with your Roku Xfinity Streaming App. I know if I was having any issues with my streaming app I would be frustrated and looking for help too. We are here and happy to help you. Besides going to the menu and back in have you done any other troubleshooting such as look for updates on the app, deleted the app then redownloaded it?

@XfinityPeterH​ I have updated the app. I have removed the app. Restarted the Roku. Then added the App again. I have done everything I can do on my end before having to contact Xfinity.

We are.having the same issues.  Only with the Xfinity app.  All other Roku apps are working fine.

Same issue. Started about a week ago. Roku Ultra connected via Ethernet with XFinity Stream app. I have tried updating the app and also uninstalling and re-installing the app. This only happens with the XFInity Stream app. No other apps on my Roku have sound issues.

I noticed that you've mentioned uninstalling and reinstalling the app and making sure your platforms are up to date, which is perfect! Have you also already attempted to reboot your modem and ensure your coax to your modem is secure? Since the Stream app is an internet-based app, this issue could be the result of an issue in your internet connection, so this would be an easy way to rule that out.

Modem has been rebooted and HDMI Cables are tight. This only happens with the XFinity Stream app. No other streaming apps have this issue.

2 months later and issue still happening. Any idea when this will be fixed or when the next Stream App update will come out?

The Sound issues are getting worse and more often. Plus, constant buffering, video & sound not syncing (even though speed to Roku is 95+mbps. and no other apps have the same issues) even with Xfinity WIFI 5g. When the app was always in Beta it ran better. I'm giving 2 more weeks. Not corrected will be dropping Xfinity Stream/Cable and going to Streaming Companies

I am having the same issues as stated above on BOTH of my accounts! With Roku stick and Xfinity app,

How can I get this fixed? Calling Xfinity and trying to get through has proven to be a huge challenge with the wait times. Is there any other way to help?

I am also having this problem like others so it appears to be a xfinity stream app issue since doesn’t happen on other apps. I also have to go out and come back to the station to fix the sound issue until it happens again. Also, besides the other noted sound issues the volume is not consistent at all.

I am also having the same audio issue with Roku and Xfinity Stream.  I've reset and reloaded Xfinity Stream, The problem in on multiple TVs with Roku and Xfinity Stream. The Roku adapters are using the  ethernet connection, not WiFi.

I am having exactly the same issue.  Roku updated the Xfinity app from Beta to the Streaming App.  Ever since, the sound goes from very soft to extremely loud.  It isn't stable and if I boost the volume too much when it goes soft, it will blow out my speakers with the full sound suddenly returns.  All other streaming apps on the Roku (Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc. all work fine.  The only problem is the Xfinity app?  Help

I’m having the same issues and tried all the same steps and still having problems. The beta version was fine. The new stream app is garbage.

Having same issue with Xfinity app on Roku with sound crackling.  I go out and come back in the app and it’s fine for awhile. Then sound gets quiet and you turn it way up to be the same loudness. Then commercial is even louder or crackling starts. Then you have to go out and back in and turn volume back to normal level. Started after Update last month for Either Roku or app update.
