I’m having two problems. 
I have had the tv for 1 week. 

1. Netflix has been buffering frequently and nearly unwatchable. Other app’s work fine. 
2. sound cuts out and I’m using the speakers with the tv.

Same issue here on my TCL TV. Only on Netflix. Hulu, Amazon & YouTube work fine. Happening more on 4k content. I have a wired connection running at 100/10.

I'm having the same issue, just bought a series 6 tcl and every app streams fine except Netflix. From what I've read in this forum and other places online, this is a system wide problem with very few people not having the same issues....problem is TCL and Netflix keep passing the buck to one another, with neither company exuding the give a **bleep** to actually do anything about it. (and no, making note of it in your accounts CRM does not equate to actual action to resolve the issue). They will and SHOULD lose customers over this, as this is a typical example of POOR customer service and lack of accountability in companies, simply because they haven't lost enough money over it yet.

I am having the same two issues with my 6 month old 65q825 , using in-built TV speakers and 200 mbps wired internet.  We can barely watch anything for an hour without running into the syncing/buffering and distorted sound issue.

Go to home>settings>system>system-update to see when your tv was last updated. I wonder if your problem might have started then? (If so, you'll want to provide the software version, and the hardware model & serial numbers from the system>about menu.).

Have you checked your internet connection using speedtest, or something like that to ensure there's not a problem with the quality of your internet? I know that cable internet providers were hit hard with people working from home last year. A lot of people couldn't stream because the service was oversold. They had slow speeds and large latency/jitter.
