Server Version#: 1.29.1.6316  
Player Version#: 5.48.1

I am having an issue where my smart tv is buffering the audio, I will get around 5s of audio then it will go silent for a few seconds and repeat. I updated the server version this morning and this is the only change I can remember making from it working perfectly last night.  
Even on direct play/stream it will buffer the audio, but it will work fine on a web player or on my phone.  
Is there anything else a setting which I might have turned on which could be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Found out it was a dying sound bar rather than a fault with Plex

I have the same issue but it is not connected to a sound bar. Tried reboots, new user, resetting server, still no joy. I suspect the Samsung Smart TV app has not been updated.
