there is an issue with #Cheer season 2, episode 8.
Please fix the lagging sound, everyone I know who is watching this is experiencing this same issue. It’s a technical problem on your end, the sound is 10-15 seconds behind the video.

trying to watch season 2 episode 8 of Cheer and the sound is way off from the video. I restarted my roku but it didn’t work. It’s just this episode. All other episodes and shows are fine.

Watching #Cheer s2 in French because the audio track for episode 8 is severely out of sync and it was getting on my nerves. Thank fuck for bilingualism but the show just doesn’t hit the same lol.

The large number of reports led to the problem quickly reaching the ears of the Netflix team. So, currently, the company is already aware of the audio issues in the most recent episode of the popular show.

Gotcha! We are aware of this issue and we’re working on fixing it. We appreciate you taking the time to report it and for now, we suggest you try it again later.

Currently, the company is working on resolving the problem as quickly as possible. But, there is still no information on the exact moment in which the audio of the episode will work correctly.

In the meantime, there is a workaround that reportedly helps resolve the audio issues. Basically, in the ‘audio selection’ section, the user should choose the ‘English (audio description)’ option.

When new developments related to the glitch arise or the fix is available, we will update this article. So, stay tuned with us.
