ATV-4K sound delay
Hey, so I’m facing a bit weird, but definitely annoying issue with my Apple TV 4K.
So, once I turn it on, it works all fine for some time - sometimes it’s 30mins and sometimes 3 hours.
However, once some time passes, the audio starts to be delayed. Not much, but definitely noticeable. Like 0.5s to 1s max.
The only way of fixing it is either turning off/on the whole device or going into options -> sound -> flicking audio mode to 16bit/automatic. It doesn’t matter which one is chosen, it’s a matter of flicking it to the other one. 16bit -> automatic or automatic -> 16bit.
It doesn’t take too much time, however if you have to fix it 4-5 times a day, it definitely starts to be annoying.
So couple words about my setup -
TV: LG CX
Audio: Samsung soundbar (don’t remember the exact model) connected via HDMI to TV
Philips Hue Sync Box 8k connected to TV via ultra-fast HDMI cable, ATV connected to the Sync Box, with soundbar connected to TV.
I doubt that it’s the sync box causing the delays, because I’m also using the Xbox Series X connected to the sync box and it works absolutely fine.
Any idea how to work this out? Is it possible to plug soundbar directly to ATV? Do you think that would potentially fix it? Or is it rather something software wise to set in ATV’s options?
TIA for all your answers!
