How do I make the close captioning be in sync with the TV show?

                              Monday, December 11, 2023--11:40 pm CST

 

This is a question about the close captions being in sync with the TV series.

I would like to know how to make the close captioning get in sync with the TV series?

Done reset, checked all settings for CC - even on each channel- and problem still persists; I need it for hearing deficiency. It WAS working for a bit but when commercial came on, the CC continued (as if with the show) while commercial played and this made it waaaay off kilter! How did you fix it??

Spooked to Roku tech support. Lots of complaints about this since last software update. They are working on a fix. Nothing to do but wait.
