Server Version#: Player Version#: 8.21 (6341) AirPlay is basically unusable with the new audio engine on my Apple TV 4K 1st gen. Audio drops out for a second every minute or so, then stops altogether after several minutes of playback. It does seem to finally fix some audio sync issues I’d previous…

Been having this same issue, just started for me to today and had been bashing my head against the wall trying to isolate and did find it was only on AppleTV with AirPlay. Replicated this on Sonos speaker pair and a home pod 1st gen. This is happening on 2 different appletv 4k

I presume the audio issue goes away when you enable the Old Audio Engine in the Plex for Apple TV Settings ?

I have the same issue as the other posters. Correct, the issue stops for me when Old Audio Engine is enabled.

Yes, I had to switch back to the old audio engine and the audio playback is stable again. It’s actually even better now with the new audio offset feature allowing me to manually correct occasional audio sync issues. I’m glad the manual audio offset is enabled for the old engine, I find it very usefu…

Have the same issue with the engine Switching to the old one stops the strange cut lug issues ; but volume control is now almost random Sometimes I can turn it all the way to 0% and the audio will be too loud ; other times it will come out of one (usually left, but not always!) speaker and other t…

also weird/possibly relevant; I am able to play using new or old engine on a far older Apple TV “HD” or the one with the touchpad style remote, airplay works and volume control too; the audio issues seem worse on my newer hardware to the stage that I’m barely using Plex now as I fear it might dama…

Honestly I have given up at this point. The new audio engine is so broken in so many ways that they pulled it from iOS with a few days of it being launched. With tvOS they kept it going for some reason. At this point I’m starting to think that Plex just assume we’re all using Infuse instead so th…

@chrisallen I saw in another topic there’s gonna be a new version of MPV player soon? I know there’s only a handful of posts in this thread however there’s at least another five threads on the same subject. Any chance anyone at Plex will be buying any HomePods anytime soon, to reproduce the issue…

Ouch! This sounds like a painful issue. I don’t have a HomePod myself. But I do have AirPod Pro 2’s that work while watching content and don’t drop out. (there is an issue with plex only doing spatial stereo on tvOS which we are aware of) I’ll take a look at those other threads and see what I might…
