In the last two weeks or so, the volume for the broadcast of Washington Capitals games (maybe other content on the channel too, but I am only watching Caps games on this channel) has been wildly inconsistent, ranging up and down on it's own.  It's like not having a strong signal on a radio station, but it's not fuzzy or anything, just goes up and down.  I am using a TCL Roku TV 55" Model 55R635 and an LG soundbar that's less than a year old.  I don't have this problem with any other channel or any other streaming content.  It is only on MSM and I've only noticed it with Caps game but it is *not* insignificant in variation.  I have gig speed FIOS and the TV is ethernet wired directly to the the router.  And this is only a recent phenomenon.  Please help!  Caps games very important to my family!

Hi John, thanks for the welcome and the guidance.  I thought I was doing something wrong because I couldn't figure out how to do what you were saying.  It then occurred to me I failed to tell you I am encountering this problem when I am streaming MSM *through youtubetv*!!!  So this forum may not be the appropriate place to ask my question.  However you've likely solved my problem in another way, which is I now realize your answer was tailored to the MSM channel on the Roku tv main screen.  So I've now downloaded that channel, synced it up with my yttv account so I can stream Caps games that way and I am guessing the audio problems will disappear.

Am I correct that you can't offer guidance on my problem within the context of yttv package?   I haven't searched yet, but I am determined to get this issue some attention, so if you know of a better place for me to explore that further, I'd be appreciative of any suggestions.

Thanks much for your help!  Cheers!
