Sound cutting out for a second repeatedly

[Byfoja03]

I have an issue when watching virgin tv where the sound cuts out for a second, maybe slightly less, but it happens repeatedly at no apparent regular frequency, but enough that it's annoying - any suggestions to resolve this?

Thanks

Yes, I have the same issue. Normally 2 or 3 times in an evening. 

It happens on all content on the 360 box, prime video, Netflix, live and recorded programmes. 

I have a sound bar connected through an ARC connector if that is related to anyone else’s problem. 

Sounds like another sound issue the VM engineers need to fix along side of the Dolby sound out of sync.

Hopefully a future update will iron these out.

Hi , had this from day one, tried everything , only way to resolve was soundbar connected to tv by optical cable . Virgin very quiet on this , quite common fault when using soundbar through hdmi arc connection. Never had fault on V6 box . Still waiting for answer .

Hi all,

Thanks for your posts and apologies for the issues you are having.

This isn't a raised fault as of yet but as a few people are having the same issue, we'd love to raise this to get checked on further.

Can you all reply with the answers to the following questions:

• What tv box are you using? 
• What devices? We specifically need the make, model and software version.
• If it's on a device and not tv box, how are you watching?
• Please confirm whether it's live TV, On Demand, Recordings or both.
• Finally, does this only happen when connected with the sound bar or does it happen without as well?

I appreciate some of you have given this information already but if you can provide it all in one post this will help us gather the information 🙂

Many thanks,

Hi Kath,

In answer to your questions:

• Tivo V6 - 1 TB - TV360 Version 4.30 (Hardware version ARRIS-DCX960-MPA+)
• Samsung 4K Q60T TV (Software version 1460), Samsung Soundbar Q60T
• Problem with all sources through the TV360: live, catch-up, recorded, Netflix, Amazon prime
• I can only use the TV using the sound bar, so I cannot confirm that it does not happen with out it. 
  
  

Thanks for raising this as a fault.
