[13.0] Stuttering Audio when streaming
Audio was working fine yesterday. Today Roku updated to version 13. Now the audio does not work. It is literally unusable, even after a factory reset. Everything else (PS4 etc) works just fine, so it really is only the Roku.
Please fix your **bleep**.

I have been having this issue since the last software update 😞 Tried everything suggested in post and then some. I believe I have stumbled across a fix. Under Setting - Audio -Digital output format - change to anything other then auto I'm using custom, dolby digital.. No issues for over 8 hours while changing to various streaming apps.
Hope this works for all affected..

My issues with audio started after update 13. I tried all suggestions but none helped. I did resolve this issue by changing Setting - Audio -Digital output format - change to anything other then auto I'm using custom, dolby digital. Have not experienced issue since then (more then 24 hours).
