Apple TV app audio problem

I just installed the Apple TV app on a Firestick. On the main screen, when it plays the previews, the sound works fine. However, when I try to watch an episode of something, there is no sound. Going to the audio icon on the bottom right of the screen and selecting another language make it give a loud steady humming noise instead of the correct audio. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting, restarting, but nothing works. Any ideas? Audio works fine on all of the other apps.

Hi Fragile7,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you've tried some great steps including those from Reset the Apple TV app - Apple Support.


Additionally, we'd recommend the following which is from If you can't watch or stream movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app - Apple Support.


"If the movie or TV show won't start playing

After each step, try to stream or download the movie or TV show again.

  1. Check the System Status page for service interruptions or check a third-party provider's website for any interruptions. If there are service interruptions, try to stream or watch the video later.
  2. If you're having trouble signing in with your Apple ID, you can reset your Apple ID password or learn how to get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication.
  3. If your cellular connection is poor, connect to Wi-Fi instead.*
  4. Try watching on a different device using the same Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If it doesn't work, contact your internet service provider to see if there's an issue with your network.
  5. If other people are using Apple TV+ or Apple TV channels, make sure it doesn't exceed the limits for streaming on multiple devices."


Cheers!
