No Sound on Recordings

Recently I have noticed that whenever I try to watch shows on DVR they don't have sound, so I am forced to either completely exit out of the show, and restart the show, or watch the show on Demand- btw what is the point of having unlimited DVR recordings when half of them are suffering from this issue.

Never had the issue with any of my recordings. What streaming device are you using? Is it all of your recordings? A particular channel or content? Is the sound missing on any other device like your phone, tablet, or PC?

Directv on Samsung, and this is a new issue, and only started after the rolled out the updated App in May. But the sound issue has only been an issues for a few weeks. Only on DVR recordings, no issues with Live TV or any particular channel. And no issues with other devices, and yes I know that Samsung TV has issues with Directv app, I am not in the position to purchase new TV's since all of my TV's are Samsung.

The Samsung DirecTV Stream has many issues. You'll be much happier with a Roku or FireStick.

I agree. The Samsung native app has been an issue since its conception. Performance varies between models and year produced. Most have opted to go with external devices or seek another service provider.
