Just to see if it was a Cinemax problem, I went to the MaxGo website on my laptop where you can login with someone's credentials that is subscribed to Cinemax through their cable company which is what I did and the Three Billboards movie played fine with NO audio problems - the audio was perfect!!! So, there is only a problem with the copy of the movie that the Roku Channel has for it's Cinemax subscription.
It would be nice if Roku Channel premium subscriptions included access to the premium channels' own apps. That way you'd have a fallback in case you run into issues with playback in one of the apps.
Yea, I was thinking that when I signed into the MaxGo website with someone else's credentials. But, I wish the Cinemax/MaxGo website would allow casting to Chromecast like HBOGo does. I am having to use the "Cast Tab" option to cast the movie to Chromecast - It's just mirroring the tab and it doesn't play smooth, very glitchy - Of course, I am using a 2011 Gateway Laptop that does have 6gb of Memory and an Intel i3 processor, but I guess it's too old now. The MaxGo android app still doesn't allow casting.
Also, Roku doesn't have Cinemax as a standalone channel where you can sign in using your cable account credentials. So, the only way, even if you are subscribed to Cinemax through your cable company, to be able to have access and watch a movie from Cinemax's collection of On Demand movies on your TV and it play good is to pay for another subscription through the Roku Channel, Amazon Prime w/Cinemax as an Add-on, and other services. It's ridiculous! Cinemax is just money hungry!
