telecast being displayed has the sound cutting out. Every now and then. Very annoying!!!

It seems that the picture stutters and than the sound stutters.  It is happening on all stations.  The first echelon tech just keeps telling me to reboot my modem.  There must be something AT&T can do.

CBS sound out of sync

For several weeks the sound on our two network/local CBS HD channels have been out of sync. Usual fixes like rebooting and changing channels do not solve the problem. This is on all four of my receivers. Any suggestions?

Intermittant loss of sound

When using the various Roku devices and Directv Stream I will have episodes where the sound will disappear for 1-2 seconds, 2 or 3 times. Unplugging the device for a minute solves the problem, but it will recur.  This is becoming very annoying.  I see notes from a year ago about this.

The sound abruptly disappears

For the last two days, there are incidences where the sound abruptly cuts off - on all channels. The picture is fine but sound is mute.  I can get it back by rebooting, but today I've had to do this three times.

The TV sound comes up muted

The TV sound comes up mute (no visible mute function) ever so often on on my 2016 Samsung TV.  If I switch from Uverse mode to another app, like Amazon video or Netflix, the sound is on.  If I switch back to Uverse, the sound is back on.
