Youtube app audio is skipping and choppy with Private Listening

I’ve got the same issue if you find a fix please share I’ll come back here if I find one as well.

Same issues and experience here. One thing no one else has mentioned specifically, so I figured I would. When I use wired headphones plugged directly into the 3.5mm jack, the sound is fine. This makes me think that this can't be a network issue. It's just a weird and very specific combination of the Roku app, private listening, and using Bluetooth headphones, but only with YouTube.

Same issue here as of a few days ago. I’ve tried everything and Bluetooth speaker is still choppy on YouTube. Even after all kinds of resets. Bluetooth works fine on everything else. The only thing that seems to work is when watching a video on YouTube, reporting poor quality or audio not working via the Feedback option on YouTube videos while I’m watching them. Sometimes, after reporting “poor audio” or “no audio” the choppiness goes away until the next video, and then I have to repeat the whole process again. Ive been doing this on every single video I’ve watched for a few days already. 

I’m having this issue too. I’ve tried everything to fix it on my end. 

I have same issue.   I have tried multiple Roku TVs, fiddled with the Wi-Fi, tried different Bluetooth devices, deleted and re-downloaded the app.   Pulling my hair out as this is a key feature for Roku and I need it to work.  This is currently unusable for me.  Huge problem.  

I’m having this same issue on YouTube TV while playing recorded videos but not as severe as regular YouTube. If I rewind it’s a little better. 

I'm so glad it's not me. I also went through all the same steps to try and fix it & nothing worked. It's perfect with TV audio or headphones plugged in. It's so frustrating since I watch a lot of YouTube at night when I need private listening!

Have been having the same issue since Friday night, thought my headset was going kaput until all of my headsets had the same issue, but only with the YouTube channel, and only via Roku private listening. If I run the video directly off my phone via the YouTube phone app audio is fine. Funnily, if I cast the video from the YouTube app on my phone onto my TV, the issue returns until I stop casting. 

Found a fix. Open Roku app on your phone. Go to the Remote screen. At the top of the screen, tap Settings (the gear icon). At the bottom of settings is a section called Sound with one selection called "Adjust audio delay". Doing that resolved my crackling issues.

I have had the same problem with YouTube only, although it seems as though some videos will play better or with no audio drop out. None of my other Roku Apps do this, and this is a relatively brand new issue. I have 2 Roku Ultras and numerous other Roku TV’s and products and have been streaming YouTube through the Roku App and private listening with my iPhone for years with no problems. The earphones are also not the problem because it is malfunctioning no matter which set I use. 

I have found that simply pausing the video seems to reset the audio, but it usually begins to drop the audio once again leading to a cycle of pausing/playing my videos until I painstakingly get through the content.
