Starting this morning anytime I play a video on YouTube the first few seconds of audio are sped up like its trying to catch up to the video or something. This is only happening on YouTube. I’ve tried power cycling, uninstall-restart-reinstall, and the problem persists. Anyone else encountered this or have any idea how to fix it?
Been seeing this on both my roku-enabled TV and my stand-alone boxes for a week now. It's really annoying for shorter videos.
Im haveing the same issue on a roku tv. System is up to date. Tried uninstalling, turning off/unplugging and reinstalling youtube and it still does it in tge beginning of every video. Ruku has been great im hoping for a fix soon
Its been over a month and still no fix. Running out of patience
Add me to the list of frustrated users. Happens consistently on every single video I play on YouTube. Even if I let the video play for a few minutes and rewind to the beginning of the video, it'll happen again. Super annoying.
Same issue on my TCL TV YouTube App (ROKU OS). Pretty annoying
So this has been going on FOR FIVE MONTHS NOW. And does not get any less irritating.
- Has this been discussed and answered by Roku elsewhere?
- Is Roku simply ignoring this like it doesn't matter? Other priorities?
It's not acceptable that this known, consistent, repeatable and widespread issue remains unfixed.
Or AT LEAST acknowledged. Roku Tech Support HELLO are you listening?!!
Same thing has been happening to me for a few months now. It's intensely frustrating. Why has there been no fix, or even acknowledgment?
The same is happening to me. Roku Ultra, and YouTube. Has anyone found a fix?
ADD ME TO THE LIST! Problem for MONTHS.
I am SO FRIPPIN' FED UP, and just found this thread today.... which makes me even angrier coz ROKU TECH ISN'T REPLYING TO Y'ALL!!
It's still happening to me. It's been going on for months. Is it that hard to fix Roku? Get your **bleep** together.
Add me to the list. I came here to look for the solution.
Any update on this or comment from anyone who works at Roku? because same issue here?
Been having this issue for months, I’m pretty tired and annoyed of it. I keep looking for an update to the Youtube app hoping that a fix will be put out, but it never happens...
Oh my God! It's finally fixed! Still astounded how long it took.

I have a stick, been having this issue with brief rapid audio for the last week or two (late June). Nothing has worked for me either.
HOWEVER - I've also experienced just as many brief loops in the video, where a couple seconds of video will loop once then continue on. At first I thought they were editing errors but it's been just as consistent as the other issue.
Is this something you have noticed?
Yes! I am a songwriter and was test listening to my new song before releasing it and was convinced that the audio file that my distributor sent to YouTube was corrupt... UNTIL I listened on my phone, my Fire TV, and every other device I could find. Only my Roku TV has the sped up audio issue.
Happens to me on nearly every youtube video. If there's a pre-roll ad, it often happens in the ad instead of the video itself. This is happening on both current gen Roku sticks and the previous gen Roku stick that I have on another TV.
Pretty clear to me that this is a problem with Youtube, not with the Rokus themselves, which gives me zero confidence it'll get fixed anytime soon since Youtube clearly does not care.
Same issue on my 2019 Hisense Roku TV. It also happens if I skip to a different point in the video, although it doesn't happen if I pause and play again. Might have to switch back to the Firestick for the time being as I use YouTube a lot.
