Stuttering on playback roku ultra

On playback or live tv, frequently have stuttering.  I have had to switch from direct connect to wifi and still stuttering.  Reboot from System menu still produces stutter.  Not until unplugged power and reconnected did stutter go away.  Ready to put a clapper on it for easy rebooting. lol....Its normal speaking/talking that you can understand but like a piece of it is gone kinda like a skip on a record player

Roku Ultra (4800 series)

    1) Configure passthrough:  Change Settings/Audio/Digital output format = Passthrough (do NOT leave it on Auto as this will transcode all non-DTS audio to the highest detected Dolby level of the connected device, and can/does cause audio stuttering/dropouts/latency/incorrect channel mappings/etc).

    2) Disable Sound ModesDuring playback press Options (*)/Sound Settings/Customize sound modes/Volume Leveling & Dialog Enhancement = Off  (Do not enable these as they can/do cause audio stuttering/static/dropouts/latency/etc).
