Apple TV audio delay (alien.top)

Hey.

Wondering if anyone knows of/is experiencing this issue.

When using my Apple TV to a Sonos beam soundbar, watching movies, there’s a slight audio delay. Tested with playing stuff direct from the tv, no audio delay. Tested playing Apple TV with TV built in speakers - delay exists.

On the Apple TV, the delay goes away in YouTube. Then when I leave youtube, there’s no sound delay navigating the Home Screen. As soon as I open the Apple TV app or another app (tried Plex, Disney+) the audio delay comes back. If I go back to the main menu, it stays when navigating the Home Screen as well. it only goes away when I open YouTube back up. Which makes me believe it’s an issue with the Apple TV. I’m trying to reset it now, but short of that, does anyone know a fix?

Try turning game mode on your tv

I had this problem too and saw a post about low speed HDMI cables being the culprit. Sure enough, I replaced the HDMI cable with a better quality 4K rated cable and that fixed it.

Update, used a high speed hdmi cable, not fixed.

Try disabling Atmos in the settings.

My Sonos has an audio delay setting that defaults pretty high. Have you looked at that setting?

Where is this setting? I have the audio lip sync delay or whatever set to 0
