UserOfStreamers That’s actually not what he’s speaking of. The AT&T TV/ DirecTV Stream channel has huge audio issues. The channel will all of sudden go very then so soft you cannot hear it. At times it will be garbled and full of static. It’s been this way for a very long time. Unfortunately when AT&T sold off AT&T TV to DirecTV the problem seems to be forgotten about. This has nothing to do with commercial volumes and other Valium is going up-and-down. This is actually very extreme and very annoying. But DirecTV doesn’t seem to want to address the issue
Buy a improved Roku Streaming Stick 4K. The original Streaming Stick+ and Ultra have the audio problem, but not the Streaming Stick 4K #3820R.
So is the new update 11.5 supposed to fix this issue?

There is nothing stated or implied in the OS 11.5 release notes (user or developer) which indicates any such app-specific fix for the DirecTV Stream app's volume issues, for older or newer Roku models (Roku doesnt provide a changelog, just abstract summary of new features and/or APIs/API changes).
This is not to suggest that a change/fix in OS 11.5 doesnt/couldnt incidentally/also address the DTVS app's volume issue, just that it is unknown (and unlikely).
The most likely source for an app-specific issue is an update to the app/service itself, and for that you need to address it to the app vendor (DirecTV in this case).
Regardless, as OS 11.5 rolls out to different device models, and assuming the DTVS volume issue still exists, it should be apparent relatively quickly whether it provides any sort of incidental fix.
Finally, it should be noted that the volume issues with the DVTS app have been noticed on several platforms, which indicates a service/server-side technical issue, not a platform specific issue, so the most likely resolution is with app/service updates from DirecTV.
I doubt that the Roku update to 11.5 will fix a specific audio problem with Directv stream. I can say that since buying my Roku streaming stick4k (updated model?) I've had no further problems with volume in Directv. In fact Roku is offering an updated Roku Express for $30 which they are saying is even faster. I suspect that it too will fix any audio problems for you. Good luck.
