I also am having this issue on multiple devices. I'm currently using 3 Roku Devices. A Westinghouse Roku TV which started having sync issues immediately after updating to 12.0, a streaming stick 4k + which also has issues starting immediately after updating to 12.0, and a TCL Roku TV which is still on 11.5 and working fine.
To replicate the issue I start watching a live TV channel on the Xfinity Stream app. Typically occurs when I am watching CNBC, but that is just what I typically watch. The channel will work fine for some period of time and then suddenly the video will freeze momentarily while the audio continues and they are out of sync from that point forward. There does not seem to be any pattern as to when that occurs. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes and hour or two. To recover I just hit the back button exiting the channel and then select the channel again, which causes everything to be in sync again.
From the last time this occurred (this morning):
Westinghouse Model WR24HX2210
Hardware ID: DE01X
OS Version: 12.0.0 build 4182-D5
Serial Number: X00700WDK7J
Tracker ID: 7J-189-678

A second device (3810X) updated from 11.5 to 12.0 (build 4184-50) over the weekend. Now seeing the sync problem on that device. I notice it also seems to be occasionally losing audio completely - this issue occurs repeatedly when the broadcast stream returns after periods where Xfinity inserts its own ads. In both cases, the issue is resolved by exiting and reselecting the stream.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the version of the Xfinity App I am using is the latest available, 6.11 build 0, on all three TVs.

Yes, the only quick fix is going out and launching the channel again… pain. Should not be happening. Soon as some gets all the channels Xfinity carries I’ll switch to them and ditch Xfinity if they are the problem. Just switched to streaming 6 months ago and was happy at first. Roku/Xfinity have to figure this out soon!!!

Hi, Mary. The out-of-synch issue occurs on my several devices and on at least several channels: CNBC, Fox News, Bloomberg, and our several local channels (ABC/NBC/CBS affiliates). The issue is much as RkuUser62 describes above, except in my case it happens often, maybe every few minutes? Exiting to the Xfinity app home screen and going back to my program works, but only for +/- several minutes before things go to **bleep** again.
This problem is completely new. I’ve been using the Xfinity Streaming app for the past couple of years, including the one marked as a beta version, and I never had this problem before maybe 3-4 weeks ago?
You asked for info on the Roku units. Here are two of them.
