VIP5662 Sound cutting in/out constantly.

Arris VIP5662W  4K

Sound cutting in and out constantly on all channels. My Prime channel works as well as Netflix.

I have replaced the box once through Bell. Worked fine for a bit.  Have now replaced 3 different HDMI cords.  Set digital audio output to both Auto and PCM.

 

Really starting to get fed up with service. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey samw problem here. Had the receiver replaced last year. Havent really used it because since we have a newborn. Been using the app or Cast on Google Nest Hub. No sound cutting problem with all the other devices.Now that I start to watch TV again on the receiver same thing happens.

Hope somebody at Bell can fix that before the SuperBowl, otherwise I'll look like a fool for choosing Bell in front of the family for the 2nd year in a row.

Hi there @JF448 🙂

We invite you to get back to us via our previous private message with the requested information so we can continue to dig into this further for you.

Looking forward to your reply.

@BellPatricia 

unable to get any sound from fibe TV. sound is turned on for remote for TV and the Bell remote.

Hi there @Preed 
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community.
Can you share which receiver model you have?
Have you ensured the volume is turned up and the TV / receiver is not muted?
Have you tested another HDMI cord / have you tried using a different HDMI port in your television?
Do you have any third party sound system connected (if so, please try removing it to see if the issue persists)?
Do you have another TV you can hook the receiver up to, to see if the issue persists on a different television?
Do you have anything else hooked up to your television to test if the audio works?
Is there no sound on every channel you go to?
Looking forward to hearing back.

I have been experiencing the same issue (sound cuts and sometimes the picture freezes and sound continues).  I found that if I clear both the cache and data in the Bell Fibe TV app it fixes the problem  (go to Settings-> Device Settings->Apps->Fibe TV).  Hopefully that works for you too.

We have the same issue , has anyone found a solution?  This is very frustrating!!
