How to fix soundbar delay

- In this video, I'll show you how to fix the sound delay of soundbar. This is a very common issue in connecting soundbar to TV using HDMI or Optical cable. The reason why audio gets out of sync between the tv and soundbar is that the sound formats such as Dolby digital or DTS (digital audio), require more time to decode between the soundbar and the tv. By the time decoding is done, the video is already played.
IMPORTANT: If your sound system has got more than 2 channels or Dolby Atmos, then I suggest you to first try the 2nd method (1:55). To understand why, please watch • What is PCM audio & • What is Dolby ATMOS .
THIRD SOLUTION: If the above 2 methods still didn't fix your soundbar delay, then try to turn OFF the eARC function on the TV setting.

I'll show two methods to fix it:
Introduction - 0:00
By changing TV Settings - 1:20
By changing Soundbar Settings - 1:55
It is preferred to fix this issue using the first method that is by changing the digital audio output to PCM from auto.
In the second method, we adjust the audio delay until the lips movement on tv is same as the sound produced on the soundbar. You need to do a bit of trial and error. In my case, for HDMI connection, it fixed at 25 ms delay.

This problem was bothering me for weeks, only with certain files. Your first solution worked immediately . Thank you.
Glad it helped
After a few adjustments on the audio delay (it was at 20, set it to 40) on the TV settings, it finally worked. Amazing! Thank you.
You're most welcome 👍 Yes, setting the audio delay requires trial and error.
We had our Sonos Beam 2 soundbar installed by the "Geek Squad". We had lip sync problems from the start. I had them come back out, but they couldn't fix it. I called Sonos and Samsung, but they had no solution. I was ready to give up, but in my on-line search for a solution, I came upon your video. Bingo....no lip sync problem. Thank you!!!!
Just Perfect!! Contacted Samsung support twice about the annoying delay issue and they were unable to solve it. Your solution on adjusting TV settings to PCM solved it immediately. Thank so much.
I'm glad you've finally found the solution!
You are now limited to 2.0 stereo sound, not a fix if you have a 5.1 or 7.1 system.
The PCM thing works! Awesome!!! I'd spent a couple aggravating hours trying to solve this problem until I found your video. Thanks, dude!
Glad it helped! And thanks for sharing what worked for you!
Side tip/ in addition check the options section on ps5 and sound options > audio out put > and hdmi device type select sound bar then scroll all the way down (in the audio output tab still) and see general and then aduio format then switch it to Liner PCM and it fixes the delay. This guy in the video was a great help as well thx pal
I thought I would have to live with this issue but now it's fixed!! Thank you!!!!
I literally had this problem for the last year had no idea how to resolve it this fixed in in 10 seconds with the first solution ! Thank you so much 😌
I’m using a Amazon fire tv and Samsung sound bar and switching the audio to the pcm method worked 🙌
I was going to return my soundbar, this fixed my Xbox SX audio with LG C2 with a Vizio sound bar. Thanks a bunch!!!
You're most welcome!
@@bhupindertube dude, I have sonyhtS20r, how to reduce audio delay and ms????. Pls??

Syncing the TV sound output to the sound bar was troublesome. I followed your 'fix' and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much.
Glad it helped
Thank you. It was my audio sound setting on my TV. I changed my digital audio out delay from 30 to 60 and then the audio and video came into perfect sync.
Welcome. Nice to hear that!
Thank you we watched movies 🎥 for a while with a delay... THIS VIDEO SAVED OUR MOVIE NIGHTS THANK YOU!!! worked like z charm. Using Samsung bar with roku t.v.
Wow! I'm glad you can now watch movies without any delays 🙌 Thanks for specifying your setup.
Thank you! Totally helped after resetting my TV to factory settings.
Glad it helped
I really dig your video but more importantly this helped me and was so clear and simple how you explained the delay problem. The audio setting on my sound bar was only off a little. I can adjust in 25 point increments so I only went down from 75 to 25.
Glad it helped! Thanks for explaining in detail which method helped and the setting that worked for you.
@Cool b jay - Wow, this really works!
Thank you for your help. I have a Hisense tv and just got a Samsung sound and and after viewing your video I followed the steps and found my sound bar to be 200ms delayed. Wow! I adjusted it to 0ms and it works perfect! Thank you so much. Continue the good work. 👍🏼👏🏼🤝🏼
You're most welcome! I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for mentioning your TV & soundbar brands & the setting (0 ms). 0 ms is the the minimum you could go so I'm you didn't need to go any lower.
This is a very simple, straight forward and effective explanation....thank you
You're most welcome!
Setting the delay to 0 on sound bar and changing the audio outputting format to pass through worked for me. Thanks for the info.
Glad it helped & thanks for mentioning what worked for you! It is the first time someone said 0 ms worked. Interesting.
I was struggling for a long time what would be the cause, even search into youtube and nothing helped until i found your video. Finally i got my problem solved, thanks to you, it was really helpful. Thanks! 😃
Glad I could help! Thanks for explaining your struggle & that my video helped you. It really motivates me to make better videos 🙏
Thanks! That was so helpful. The audio sync option helped me
Amazing thanks so much. Both my settings were out. It’s now perfect. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much man. This was so helpful. Had my surround system for almost a year and had this problem until I said enough 😅 . Thanks for helping me fix 🙌🏽
Glad it helped! Wow, 1 year. You must be very patient.
@@bhupindertube hehe yeah man. I was barely home . So yeah
Thanks so much, Fixed my soundbar in 30 seconds!
Glad it helped!
Thanks. Worked right off the bat. Very informative too.
Glad it helped
You solved my problem I changed the PCM audio and that finally fixed my problem. Thank you so much for this video. This was an annoying problem.
I'm so glad that your problem is solved. And, thanks for mentioning what worked for you!
Thank you so much. I got nowhere calling Samsung. You mentioned on the soundbar to plug the HDMI cable into the eARC. It was, but when I went to the sound settings on the TV looking for the digital output audio, it was off. Switched it to auto and now it was a little out of sync. Went to digital output audio and I had two choices, auto and pass through. I changed it to pass through and now it works perfectly.
Glad I could help! Thanks for explaining in detail how you've manged to fix it 🙏
Dang it worked. Changed to PCM. And set it at 10 for audio delay. No delay or whatsoever. Oddly, im still experiencing minor delay with 0 audio delay, but 10 might be the sweet spot. I dont know but it works!! Thanks man!
You're most welcome!
Thanks after seeing your video I was able to fix the low volume and delay issue of my sound bar and TV. Keep up your good work thanks.
You're most welcome!
You saved me!! My installer didn’t even know how to fix. Amazing!! PCM fixed it.
You're most welcome! Thanks for mentioning what worked for you!
Nice work! Fixed my Audio lag!
Glad I could help!
Thanks it helped me. I changed from Dolby Digital Plus to PCM on my TCL TV, but there still a really small delay.
You're most welcome! Please also try the 2nd method in the video. By changing Soundbar Settings - 1:55
I have a TCL tv also and a Samsung Harman/ Kardon sound bar and still has the delay after trying this..
Hey bestbruder. I did both methods and I still have a delay as well. It's not really bad but its still noticeable. I'm not sure what next
Hey, just set all device audio sources to the same audio sync speed so if your TV set up is 0ms set the soundbar to 0ms and the BluRay player or source of audio to 0ms all these devices need to have the same synchronisation speeds. If a device cannot reach 0ms such as older devices then just set them to the lowest common denominator. So if the TV cannot reach 0ms but can reach 50ms then set the soundbar to 50ms and the other sources. Do not change to pcm if you want to get the full quality of audio without delays.
Thanks! Using a new sony tv with an old sound bar with optical cable. Switched it to pcm and sound is synced up nice now
You're most welcome and thanks for sharing your setup!
Thank you so much!
I was about to return my Samsung HW-Q65T
Happy Now thanks to you!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much!! This fixed my issue. I was ready to return the sound bar.
Glad I could help!
Worked like a charm!!! Thanks!!!
Glad it helped!
It kinda worked, though there's no significant delay, (I can't help to turn the volume up from the TV speakers just to compare to the bar... There's still a slight delay... Not as annoying as it was before watching this video) ... But it certainly improved my experience and lyp syncing while watching HBO... So thanks!!!
Perfect! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Awesome. You fixed my issue. Thank you
Glad I could help
Yes! This actually works 💪
Changing the delay on the SB fromm 300 to 25 fixed the problem for me!

Glad it helped & thanks for mentioning what setting helped and your models 🙏
You are the man! Thanks! Helped me big-time!
Glad it helped!
Resetting my TVs audio default settings worked. There is a slight delay but barely noticeable. I have a Bose sound bar and the remote is pretty minimal so I will have to play around with it to find the sync settings. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for sharing the settings that worked for you!
You beautiful human being I have been trying so hard to fix this and your soundbar audio sync was amazing and worked thank you so much oh my God I am so relieved
This works!! Keep up the good work my friend.

Glad I could help
Thanks for the help!
Happy to help!
This video really helps me even I am using traditional av receiver and samsung qled tv, awesome, thanks a lot. I change to pcm then adjust audio delay if my denon av reciver using remote control. Its now perfect sync.
Thanks for providing the details of how you've used the above method to fix your devices 🙏 What you're saying makes total sense 👍
THANKS! You are much easier (as in explaining) and nicer than the Samsung person I called!
Glad I could help!
First one worked thank you!!!
Glad it helped & thanks for specifying which method worked for you.
Thanks for the help👌
Any time!
thanks man, for me the soundbar trick worked, it was set at 300 ms, changed it to 0ms, perfect now, brand is JBL soundbar 5.1
Glad it helped! Thanks for mentioning what worked for you. It's interesting that it's 0ms.
Thank you for this info..the pcm thing worked for me..sound sync is spot on now many thanks
Glad it helped & thanks for mentioning which method worked for you.
Thank you. I changed the tv setting to PCM.
You're most welcome. To learn more about PCM, please watch - What is PCM audio -czcams.com/video/ToN-G4e45d8/video.html .
Thank you so much !!!
You're most welcome!
Dude, you're awesome! The setting on the Samsung soundbar had to be dialed back to 0 MS and it's fine. Thank you!
Thanks for specifying what setting worked for you.
That's because your TV would of been 0ms and the source of audio would of been 0ms... If they differ then you'd get a delay. Simply set all devices to 0ms or the same audio processing delay time and they will sync. These numbers should never be different
Bhupinder, you’re the man! Thanks brother. Your solutions worked! Thank you so much.
Welcome 👍
Thanks for the info in the video. Unfortunately I'm still having audio lag. I am connecting my PC to my LG OLED42C24LA TV via hdmi 2.1 and I have a LG SN7CY sound bar with rear speakers connected to the tv through hdmi (2.1) arc. If I change the tv output mode from auto to pcm it stops the lag but all the sounds end up routed through the rear satellite speakers or when I try and play a game or video all the speakers (sound bar and satellites) play the exact same sounds. So my choice seems to be unwatchable audio lag or surround not working properly.
If I set the audio output on the tv to auto then surround sounds works as it should but I get audio lag. I can't find any option to manually sync the audio to video on my sound bar either (like your option 2) and googling it hasn't helped me find out if I can do that on this sound bar. Nightmare.
Your the man.
Any time 🙌
Thanks this fixed the delay! On my TV it was called Multichannel Bypass.
Glad I could help. Thanks for mentioning the name of the option in your TV.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much👌🏾💪🏾

Hey there brutha. I have a Hitense tv and a Bose 300 Bluetooth soundbar. I tried your method but I still get the delay. On the soundbar settings, I started at 300ms and worked my way to 0ms and I still get the delay. I have them connected by using the optical cable. My tv only goes as high as 25ms. What can I try next?
Thanks

Samsung tv. Samsung soundbar with optical. Delay issue was BAD. But changing sound out to PCM from auto made an enormous difference. I do not know if I am sure it is 100% fixed but I am evaluating, and really looking for it. I don’t think most people would notice anything. Thanks!
I'm glad it fixed the delay. To learn more about PCM, please watch 👉 What is PCM audio - czcams.com/video/ToN-G4e45d8/video.html

Thank you very much sir. It worked!!!
You're most welcome!
I have the new LGc1 oled tv and the Vizio elevate soundbar and I'm getting an audio delay on my Apple TV 5 seconds or so. the picture will start playing but no sound. I have the soundbar connected to the Earc port on the television and my xbox and Apple TV connected to the tv. I emailed someone from dolby and they said to get a two way HDMI splitter to figure out what's causing the latency issue it's either the sound bar or the tv. once I switch is to pcm it's fine but you don't get dolby atmos anymore..
Thank you, Sir!! It worked:)
Glad it helped!
Thanks !
Welcome!
