8 Yr Old Streaming Stick Had No Audio Issues But Brand New Replacement Does

When my 8 yr old Streaming Stick showed signs of age I replaced it with a brand new 4K version. Now the sound cuts in and out. Across all channels on a 1080p Panasonic Viera. No HDMI cable used. No soundbar. I see this is an ongoing problem that has not been addressed for years. What gives?

      The HDMI swap appears to be working. Keeping fingers crossed. Thank you.

        Correction. The audio dropouts persist. Will now try a Roku Express. Maybe my 12 year old plasma set prefers a 1080p signal.
