Lip Sync/Audio Off Since 20260710?

[RTR]

Starting with 20260710 (not exactly sure), I'm having issues with my Fire TV app. The audio garbles, picture freezes, and then the lip sync is off, then the audio garbles again, picture freezes, and then the lip sync returns to normal. Rinse and repeat. Happens live or recorded, any channel, doesn't matter. Anyone else having this issue? It started doing this when the app does the HD HomeRun logo at startup instead of the setup information that used to appear at the bottom left.

What? Nobody having this issue? Really? It's happening right now while I'm watching the morning news.

I am not having this issue on my Fire TV 4K Max or my Fire Cube 3.

Okay, my App updated to 20260730 about 1/2 hour ago. The lip-sync issue seems to have corrected itself (it was horrible last night with previous software), but now the closed captions are way smaller and aren't centered anymore—they display to the left side of the screen now.

Yes I have noticed this using the HD player app on my Android 11 box. I have determined it has more to do with my Android 11 OS as other apps like YouTube and more fall out of sync too. I should also state my system has a surround sound receiver attached. In my case I have to restart my android box to correct the out of sync audio track and place my HD player settings in audio pass through to allow my receiver to decode the AC3 dd2.0 or dd5.1. Eac3 or AC4.

I bet you will see the audio track get out of wack on your fire stick in the future. Try restarting the fire stick.

I have a Fire TV, not a stick. I also use a Bose soundbar in pass-through mode.

I did get a call from support last week. They looked at logs and such and had me send some screen caps but when they called the issue wasn't happening. Starting last weekend the issue returned and I was told to contact them and let them know...no response.

Please keep us posted. I too have the same issue with the HDHOMERUN player, but also with many other apps on my Android 11 STB. I have to constantly reboot the STB to correct the sync. I am pretty confident it is the Android Box and not the Flex 4k or the Client player as my Windows 11pro client done not fall out of sync. At this point I am not willing to by another $60 Android 14 device (On Pro 4K) just to watch ATSC 3.0 channels. I will stick with old school ATSC 1.0. what a shame.
