Anyone have audio dropouts on DIRECTV Dolby Digital 5.1 broadcasts?

Does anyone experience intermittent audio dropouts on DIRECTV on Dolby Digital 5.1? In my case the dropouts are with the Sonos Playbar on Dolby Digital 5.1 broadcasts? I'm trying to determine if it's a DIRECTV problem or an issue with my Soundbar? I have a Directv HR24 connected via an optical cable to the Playbar. The dropouts occur sporadically and last 1-2 seconds. You can watch for a hour or more with no dropouts and then randomly hear a few in 30 minutes. I've tried multiple HR24 receivers with the same issue. My next step is to try a different optical cable, but somehow I don't think that will resolve it.


I've read through the years other people have experienced audio dropouts on Directv while listening to Dolby Digital 5.1 broadcasts. Is it possible the issue has never been resolved?
