Sound cutting out repeatedly

I've been having this issues constantly for 3 months. I've not had the issue before and no issues since I got the v360 box. But it's started to happen all the time.

I thought it was my tv at first but it happens with nothing else only ever virgin so it's def a software or hardware issue with the box. I also changed my cables to make sure it wasn't a cable issue and it's repeated so it's not cables.

    Hi nuzikdude 

    This may be due to Dolby Audio -  I suggest using 'Follow Content' for any bitstream audio like Atmos where it's available on content as without that I've noticed sound can drop drop momentarily.

    You can check under Settings > Audio & Video > Audio Output > there are three options > Follow Content, PCM 5.1 (HDMI only), and PCM 2.0

    Choose whether you want the audio output to follow the quality of the original content (Dolby Digital where available) or to be converted to PCM 2.0 (stereo) or PCM 5.1 (uncompressed multi channel sound).

    Using PCM settings may resolve any audio sync issues you may have.

    Netflix will always use Follow Content.
