I've tried to solve this problem for one and a half year but can't seem to find any solution so that's why I seek help here.
I'm having some really terrible sound delays on my Sony Android TV (KD-55XD8505) and it seems to be worst on HDMI Sources.
I usually have a 100ms delay on all audio which can't be helped as my Soundbar (which is connected through Optical at the moment) only supports sound delay and not to get the sound to come earlier.
This problem has been since the start but I've lived with it as long as I've tried to find a solution.
I've tried this:
- Upgradring to the newest TV Firmware (13/3 2018)
- Resetting the TV to factory settings
- Unplugging the soundbar and using only the TV Speakers. The audio still is delayed
- Changed the soundbar from optical to HDMI ARC. No difference.
- Changed out all the HDMI cables connected to the TV. No improvements
I even tried connecting my PS4 to the TV to see if that would sync up. It actually had the worst sound delay of all devices, almost up to a half a seconds delay on the sound.
The TV even seems to have a little more delay when the TV is put on Game Mode. If you turn it off it will usually sound a little bit more synced but not by much.
If someone knows of any way to help me solve this mystery, I'll give you my biggest thanks.
