[13.0] Stuttering Audio when streaming

Audio was working fine yesterday. Today Roku updated to version 13. Now the audio does not work. It is literally unusable, even after a factory reset. Everything else (PS4 etc) works just fine, so it really is only the Roku.

Please fix your **bleep**.

    We appreciate you taking the time to report this issue to us. We are here to assist you!

    For us to isolate your audio issue, it would be very helpful if you could answer the following questions:

    • Are you using an A/V receiver or soundbar with your TV/Roku player setup?
    • Have you tried plugging the Roku device into a different HDMI port on your TV or a different TV, just to test and isolate the issue?
    • If you see something different, can you please let us know what you are seeing?
    • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and OS version. (this can all be found in Settings > System > About)
    • Tracker ID (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID)

    We'll be waiting for your response. In the meantime, please try restarting the device. To do so, go to Settings > System > Power or System Restart.

      I posted this on another topic. Worth a try.

       have been having this issue since the last software update 😞 Tried everything suggested in post and then some. I believe I have stumbled across a fix. Under Setting - Audio -Digital output format - change to anything other then auto I'm using custom, dolby digital.. No issues for over 8 hours while changing to various streaming apps.

      Hope this works for all affected..

        My issues with audio started after update 13. I tried all suggestions but none helped. I did resolve this issue by  changing Setting - Audio -Digital output format - change to anything other then auto I'm using custom, dolby digital. Have not experienced issue since then (more then 24 hours).
