    Audio delay in YouTube app and Microsoft Edge on Xbox


    Hi everyone,

    I’ve been experiencing an audio delay when watching YouTube on my Xbox. The sound is always slightly behind the video. At first, I thought it was just the YouTube app, but now I’ve noticed the same issue also happens when watching YouTube in Microsoft Edge on Xbox.

    Other streaming apps like Twitch and Apple TV+ work fine, so the issue seems specific to YouTube. I’ve already tried:

    • Reinstalling the YouTube app

    • Changing HDMI ports and cables

    • Setting my Xbox to fully shut down instead of standby

    • Checking my audio settings

    But nothing has fixed the problem.

    Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Thanks!

    :)

    YouTube is broken on Microsoft Edge... For months

    Personally I use google chrome to watch youtube, or the app on my phone, I simply don't bother with the app on Xbox, or edge on Xbox, I actually don't use my Xbox for anything other than games, and spotify in the background now, oh and a few rewards apps
    like microsoft rewards and Forza Hub.

    My advice is to just not use Microsoft Edge or the youtube app on Xbox and find another way to watch youtube if it is causing you such a headache.

    Xbox One S YouTube audio sync issue

    If you say the audio delay happens on the Home Screen as well:

    My Xbox One X sometimes has temporary delays if it's installing a downloaded game, as long as it's working on the hard drive. After that, the lag and delay is gone.

    So can you restart your console by holding the power button on the console for about 10 seconds and then restarting the console. Make sure the console shows a green startup screen with the Xbox One logo during the boot sequence, and after the restart, that
    it doesn't have any downloads in the queue.

    If the delays are gone in the Home Screen but not the YouTube App, you might have to contact the YouTube support, as they are responsible for what their app is doing. Microsoft only provides the marketplace to download the app, but has nothing to do with
    how the app works.

    Also: Is your console enrolled in the Insider Preview program?

    Microsoft edge xbox one

    Also this "new youtube" on microsoft edge is so much slower, no thumnail for months now, it lags the page for 30 seconds, then stutters, the loads in 140p, stutters lags some more. Every input is a 5 second delay, update your app to include comments 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
    yes the reason anyone is here is because of the comments, thats why no one likes your apps. FIX MICROSOFT EDGE OR ADD COMMENTS TO YOU [Mod Removed - Profanity] APP

    Xbox one and delayed audio

    Hi, it didn't help. Blu-rau still has audio delay. Did some more testing with different applications. Twitch has no delay, youtube just a tad but to live with, Viaplay (Norwegian streaming) no delay. So it seems to affect only blu-ray. Since this happened
    after updating the Xbox I believe it's actually the blu-ray app that has problems. Guess the next suggestion will be a restore?

    YouTube Screen Bug

    If other video applications work fine (also try accessing YouTube through the Edge Browser), then it's an issue with the YouTube App itself, and you will need to contact the YouTube support for that, as they are responsible for how their app works.

    Microsoft only provides the Marketplace to download the app on the console.
