changing Surround-Sound to PCM worked for me

I did that. It’s in sync. But the sync changes between different apps. Disney+ has a diff sync point to Netflix. It’s really frustrating. Any tips ok that?

Am on artlii Energon 2 projector with fire stick 4K and Bluetooth speaker paired to projector (firestick didn’t want to pair w the speaker).

I connected a soundbar to my Alexa (Sony) as my projector doesn't have Bluetooth I plugged my Alexa into the 3.5 jack and linked the sound bar to my echo plus, it was out of sync and this tip fixed it perfectly!! Thanks so much

Thank you much! OMG the delay was bugging me to no end and I searched and searched for a solution till I found this. The other videos and articles basically told me there's nothing you can do but now my audio and video are syncing perfectly. Thank you so much.

Another well meant video to help the firestick 4k audio sync issues but sadly, doesn't resolve the issue like so many other videos, the helpful intention is fully appreciated though.

Question when casting from laptop to firestick TV.
I am not getting theater sound.
Sound only from 1 speaker ??

This problem just started happening this week thank you. I have sound again 😃

Definitely one of the best improvements Amazon made to the newer FireTV sticks and their software, first gen didn't have this. However, I do still find that prime video films can have a drift issue where it slowly goes out of sync over time. Amusingly enough its only Amazons own prime video that does this, Netflix, iplayer etc all sync perfectly fine.

If i do factory reset the sound sync will go back to the orginal settings?

[paulbolton]

Changing surround sound to PCM worked for me too and sound quality was also better

Unfortunately, I tried to fix this for my parents this prior to researching and I asked if it happened on every TV or just the one in the living room. I had the ball and bar configured perfectly, but for some reason some shows are fine, some shows it’s only slightly off and on other programs it’s unbearable. There are 3 TV’s, initially all 3 weren’t smart TV’s and it’s Fiber Optic cable TV that requires you to watch TV using their app (completely new to me), but still ii was only the living room one that had the AV sync issue. Three non smart TV’s turned into two, but the living room TV is still the only one with the AV sync issues.

Certainly there must be a setting on this specific TV that’s causing the AV issue. Unfortunately, the Firestick is the only way for them to watch TV since they have to watch it using an app. I tried to find them a regular smart TV that wasn’t preset with Roku or Firestick and I couldn’t find them one. The smart TV they got came preset with Roku, which doesn’t have the app they need to watch TV and they already have Firesticks so seems silly to have them buy a smart tv preset with Firestick when they already have a Firestick.

There’s got to be a setting or something with the actual TV itself that is causing the Firestick to have AV issues.

Any ideas?

Do you no how to change the sync on tivimate thanks

Is it possible my tv is the problem? I've used fire stick, Xbox, PlayStation, and built in apps to the tv, they all stream fine and then eventually the audio lags.
Maybe it's my wifi? Would like your thoughts on this

[TeddyBoo-br]

Mine is in sync for most apps on Firestick but 2 of my apps are not in sync at all. Any ideas ?

[BlackHandDread]

I’ve just found out using my 2020 LGCX that if you have deep colour output turned on for the hdmi port, the sound will always be out of sync. I’ve been driving myself mad for the past 6 months trying to figure out what was doing it. Almost got to the point of binning the firestick. That solution is nowhere to be found on the internet

[sashasummers]

Mine says it’s up to date and then when I go to sync tuning none of them will sync
