Skype Meeting Broadcast Audio Issues
This is one of the biggest issues why we don't use Skype Broadcasts as much. The audio gain control used by the SfB client is awesome for dropping all the background noise in a regular meeting, but that is also exactly what causes sound passages to drop if you feed it from external sources.
As a test, feed some pink-noise to the SfB client and watch the audio completely disappear on the other side, after a few seconds.
We use some registry hacks that make the AGC less aggressive (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Best-practices-for-Skype-Meeting-Broadcast-18b02fc1-02be-4229-af3b-1e794af58875), but there is no way to fully disable it. There were rumors that a "new" SfB Broadcast client was being built, but have not heard anything on that lately. And now that "Teams" is the new SfB client, not sure what the future is for the the Broadcasting crowd :-)
Here are some other threads where this same issue has come up... but to no avail:
