Broken sound stream on Directv Stream app

I get a broken sound stream, it sounds like just static, when I start my DirecTV stream app. It continues intermittently during broadcasts. It usually last may 15-30 seconds, but sometimes goes on for 1/2 an hour. It happens on both my TVs. I keep the TVs updated, actually have them setup to automatically update. I have tried deleting the App and reinstalling it.  I have spent hours chatting with Directv customer service. I have unplugged everything. Reset the TVs etc. Nothing works. I have Cox Gigablast wifi with Neatgear Orbi routers. I keep all of them updated. My download speed is 921.0Mbps, upload is 914.0 and Ping is 0.0. The problem only happens on the Directv app. Discovery +, Hulu, Amazon, Britbox etc work fine. It happens whether I use the DirecTV Stream box or use Apple TV. I am at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas? It started doing this late summer, around July I think. My main TV is a Sony Bravia.

Thank you so much for clarifying the information @xteaguy.

We want to take a deeper look on this, please confirm with us if your Sonos system is wireless to explore some troubleshooting.

Sonos speakers are wireless but the Sonos soundbar is directly wired to the TV and then broadcasts to the other apeakers.

Thanks for confirming it @xteaguy.

Let's try these steps to fix the delay in your Sonos system and let us know if it works. 

  1. Open the Sonos app for iOS or Android.
  2. From the Settings tab, tap System.
  3. Tap the home theater product you want to adjust.
  4. Under the Home Theater section, tap TV Dialog Sync.
  5. Move the slider to the left of the right to modify the audio until it is in sync with the video.

one question. since it is only an issue with the Directv stream app and not with my other tv apps will this cause problems with them?

@xteaguy Great, please let us know how it goes. Regarding the apps question, this will not cause any issue with the other TV apps.
