The latest beta for tvOS fixes the sound problem

Well that would be helpful if the issue was related :slight_smile: This is not related to any Apple stuff.

It’s exactly to do with Apple stuff. It’s why if you have the same symptoms on other clients you should be creating another thread specifically for that client/s and not hijacking one related to tvOS.
