Audio going out of sync on live viewing

Post by Thunderthud »

This has been happening very often recently on multiple Firesticks.

When viewing live channels via Firesticks, (on FIOS using prime tuners), audio goes out of sync. Progressively gets worse with time.

Have to exit and go back in to live to correct.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks!

I can test here... what specific model of Fire Stick? (check the Fire TV settings menu, About)

Think 1st gen 4k, (has Alexa and newer remote).
Haven't noticed it on the 1st gen Max, but usually only watch recordings on the Max.

Will let the Max run on live for a while and let you know.

4k's constantly go out of sync though.

Just an FYI, one 4k stick on Wifi and other wire Ethernet. Same issue. Correction... Both on Ethernet, Max on WiFi.

Thanks!

Doesn't appear to be doing it on the Max. At least not so far. Has been happening on the 4k's. Thanks

Had to switch out the 4k stick with an existing current gen HD Firestick to avoid divorce. 4k sticks can only go a few minutes on live before going out of sync or video going out (black) and stuttering. HD sticks and 4k Max work fine.

Thanks

Do you have the lip sync issue with other streaming services on the 4K sticks as well or just HD Homerun live channels over time?
