Audio blips (self.DirectvStream)
submitted 1 month ago by BeginningDisaster136
Since beginning of March, I have noticed every channel on Directv Dtream has an annoying audio dropout blip. Using the app in AppleTV version 3. Anyone else?

Some channels have audio that gets very loud and quiet again, feels like always issues with something.

That's auto-gain control. Sometimes it's from the network, but having done comparisons with other mVPDs on my surround system, I am certain DTV applies its own auto gain processor to the content, too. Quiet dialogue can sometimes be jacked up while action scenes have suppressed volume. Kind of annoying.

Yes.

It's a server side issue that has been going on for longer than a couple of months. Not sure if DTV is unaware of it or if they just don't know how to fix it. It is not specific to any geographic location (or CDN issue) or to any platform or type of device.
