Since the update of 13.4.8 I have buffering issues and I am loosing audio very frequently.
Also sometimes after leaving apps the audio is still playing through other apps.
Very strange but also very annoying.

Also sometimes after leaving apps the audio is still playing through other apps.
Audio-centric apps should continue playing audio, when returning to the home screen. That is intended behavior. You shouldn’t get multiple apps playing though each other, though.
Force-quit the misbehaving app(s). Then try again.
If the issue persists, then force-quit the misbehaving app(s). Restart the device. Then try again.
If the issue persists, then try deleting the misbehaving app(s), and download those again from the App Store.
If the issue still persists after that, then contact the app developer(s).

Ivan, it could be your network too. Please do the following in this order:
If the problem persists, then use a tool like iStumbler (Mac OS) to check the bandwidth of your network, not it's speed its bandwidth.
Thanks for your reply!
Did all the actions.... butttt its not the app.... I am almost sure... its since the update.... buttt gonna try the developers see if this might lead to something!
Regards en thank you for the reply.

Thank you for all the reactions also @rkaufmann87. thanks for the tip of iStumbler.... only thing I didn't do is unplug the ATV. what I did do is changing the channel of the particular 5Ghz channel. It looks like it did the trick. I really don't know what changed (could be the interfering channels that multiply like mushrooms here)...
I hope this was it... thank you all for the replies and help!!

Glad you found a solution. If the situation comes back, re-do the same thing. I don't know your situation but you may want to look into a Mesh network, you want to ensure you have coverage if you have any of the following:
Home is 1500 sq. ft. or larger OR home is has multiple stories OR you have more than 5-10 network devices on the network. In my home I was having coverage issues. My home is 2500 sq. ft, 1 level and I support 30+ Internet devices . Once I installed a Mesh network (I chose the Google Mesh system) my problems went away.
Yes I read a lot about the mesh routers.... but I am soo hooked on my Apple Airport Time Capsule (against all odds I know :-) although the wireless space it has to cover is small.... the wireless routers here in the Netherlands are really countless.... you wouldn't believe.... so channels against channels against channels...
But for now it works.... after the airport the (Google) Mesh router has to come in.... (that Chinese stuff the cable suppliers deliver are really *&*#... )
So thank you very much for the advice!!

Totally understand, at some point your TC will need to be replaced. When its time, please do some homework on what is current and makes sense for your needs.
