Audio cuts for a split second
My audio cuts for a split second every so often. each device varies but it usually when i’m streaming audio. It can be on any type of devices, computer, tv, ipad, etc

Also turning off the ATT wifi did help some, but not fully. My house is its 2700 sq ft with plaster walls. Is it possible the Orbi satellites can be interfering with each other too?----No, the whole purpose of the satellites is to connect to each other. I have occaisionally seen issues when there's to many satellites but its a bit rare of an occurence. I didn't see it at my place until I was runnig 3x satellites including my router. And that was on 3200 sqft. My computer improve a lot, but my TV still has this split second audio pause and gives off a quick little spike sound.

I take it it worked since you marked it solved?

well sort of. Still trying to find out why my Sony TV has issues. I been told by Sony users I should just hardwire it. But I do want to try and find the best channel for my Orbi. Any recommendations of which iOS app I should use to find the best channel in my house?

What issues is the sony having?
What tv is it?
how far from a router/satellite is it?
- pauld765Sep 15, 2021Guide
its a sony 75x900h the router is in the next room.
When watching anything movie/tv shows via fireTV or sony native apps, there is a quick split second pause of audio. The audio sync is good but it does this annyoing pause about every five minutes. I've tried all the output audio settings per the forums and nothing works.

Solid tv. I have the same model but in 65 inch.
I've ran it hardwired and wireless.
A couple questions.
1. I wouldn't use the fire tv. Get it working properly first on the tv's built in apps. then worry about the fire tv
2. are you using a reciever/soundbar?
3. If so, how is it connected to the tv?
