Hi Doggpound007,
Greetings from the Roku Community!

We'd like to be of assistance with this issue when using headphones.

Could you tell us when you started seeing the issue occur? Have you tried any troubleshooting, and what didn't work?

Please keep us posted!

Thanks,

The issue happens when using a bt headphone or a wired headphone.

It has happened from day one of using this 4k stick.

    Doggpound007,

    Thanks for the additional note!

    I understand it correctly; this doesn't happen when using your mobile device's audio speakers, right?

    Could you also share with us the brand and model of those external devices you've tried?

    We'd like to take a closer look.

    Thanks,

    Rey

      The stream stick 4k.

      Works just fine on the TV with sound going through TV speakers .

      When connected to the phone app in private listening to a bt headset or even wired headphones it does the sound pause issue (stutter )

      Same thing happens on a Google pixel 6a or pixel 7 .I've tried multiple headsets so it's not that since the headsets work just fine always .
