Cox Contour on Browser has no sound for home but does for TV Go
Greetings,
I have Cox cable at home and the TV works well with my TiVo device and cable card. For my study, I jus tuse the web browser.
However there is no sound for some channels. TNT, Paramount, WGN for example have video but no sound. I have cleared the cache and reset the browsers and rebooted....al the tech stuff. Still no sound. Funny though, that when I access TV Go on the same network (as if I were not home) the sound and video are just fine.
I contacted Cox and they had me go through all the troubleshooting as if it were my system but nothing. They then said that they will submit a ticket. Well that ticket is in the proverbial black box of purgatory.. No more from Cox.
When I use my Contour App on my phone the video is choppy or stuck and no sound. for the same channels. There is something clearly wrong with the signal being sent for certain channels.
Anybody else have the same issues?
Thank you.

letti001, I just tested TNT, Paramount and WGN on the Contour website using Chrome on a Desktop PC and the sound was fine.

I can't even get the watchtv.cox.com website to load, no matter what browser or PC I use.

OK, I've been emailing with cox.help and testing various item. TNT/18, Freedom/19, Paramount/52 and WGN/68. On different sites, depending if there is a 2nd language available, I had luck getting both sound and motion. At the screen bottom right there is a Language Setting icon that has 3 buttons that can be slid on/off. the 2nd is Secondary Audio (SAP). Try turning on and off. Depending if there is a Spanish broadcast or only English, this was enough for me to get sound and motion. It does not always work, depending on the actual broadcast. If the station is stuck, try the SAP on.
Also, if the Secondary is not there, try turning on the Video Description. Worth a try till Cox makes a permanent fix.

It's on their end but until one of their techs tries watching TNT on their phone you will get nothing but run-around.
On both my mobile apps and desktop browsers i will get no sound on specific channels. And it started a month or less ago. And i have not updated my mobile Contour app in that time.
However, i did get the audio back half the time when visiting the SAP settings and choosing either espanol or video description, whichever happens to be available.

I'm having the same problem. no sound. I've tried it on Chrome, Explorer, and Edge but no sound. It will be fine for 30 seconds to a minute and than cut out.
