Same here in NW Leeds - re-booting the V6 fixed it.

Check the audio settings on that channel on your box, to make sure you have Dolby Digital selected.

So various people are having this problem in different areas. The fix at the moment is to pause play for a few seconds then unpause.

Another solution
I’ve sorted it. On my V6 box if I press info you can change the audio track from stereo to unknown Dolby audio.

I now have perfect sound and it’s outputting Dolby Atmos on my receiver.

Not hearing any rear ambient noise though, so I suspect it’s stereo being sent out as fake Dolby Atmos which is probably what is causing the issue.

I thought this was fixed 2 days ago? Although I've not been home to test it.

The only live TV I watch is the BBC News at Ten - most of my viewing is from the Virgin watchlist. I haven’t noticed any issues at all here.

TV and Broadband in the EH52 are in West Lothian has been a nightmare in the last couple of days. Originally they said it was just our home and arranged an engineer visit. They cancelled the visit late yesterday saying there was an outage in our area. Fix time keeps changing. Was originally today at 1408 and the latest change is now Tuesday 26th at 1008. Broadband has been down at least 5 times today, and when it comes back it is only on for a short period. I have registered the issue, so, we will see how they cope with the compensation if and when they fix it.

Make sure you have registered for some compensation when doing the service status check.
