I reported the issue to CW technical support via their support page.
It appears CW installed a workaround in their streaming software to fast forward after the ad insert completes to re-sync the audio and video. I watched the same episodes on CW last night and the stream re-sync'd each time after the ad was done.
This does not always fix the issue. Sometimes the fast forward (why is this even necessary if they just had a decent app) is what causes the audio sync issue. Either way, it needs fixed ASAP.
Doesn't work for the 3 shows i watch on CW, no matter how much i skipped around. I even tried restarting, the episodes & FF/RW to different parts, watching 20 mins of commercials, since they played every time. It was always when the show was at the 3/4 mark or so., & no matter what I tried, it was always in the exact same spots (on young Sherlock, cleaning up & everyone else burns).
CW app troubleshooting says to "scrub forward or backward" to fix. I had never heard of calling fast forwarding or rewinding "scrubbing" before, but I'm sure it's used by the same type of kids that developed the app.
