Sound drops out on certain channels

We have a Roku soundbar and use our tv speakers. Most of the time, everything works well, no issues. We do experience periodic audio difficulties on several of the channels we subscribe to through Roku. On both the Paramount + channel and on our premium Peacock subscriptions, after we have been playing them for some time, the sound will either become garbled, slow and eventually freeze, or it will just drop out totally. Closed captions usually work unless the channel has frozen. Then we have to go back to the main menu and restart the program. This does not happen on other channels that we watch occasionally and it does not happen all of the time. Any ideas?
