Has there been any update on the audio delay issue that plagues dolby atmos in games?...

I have same problem everything shows as dolby atmos. I just get on with it . I dont have audio delay though 🤔

There are issues with dolby atmos that has been on going for a while though. Still no fix 🤔👍

If the game does not support Dolby Atmos, then the audio is normal stereo. Microsoft are working on updating Dolby Atmos, where if the game does not support Dolby, the audio will be converted to simulate Dolby Atmos.

Hello Anchel Labena,

I appreciate for looking at this post and hope that all is well other than this account issue.

An eARC audio extractor is a device that can extract the full HDMI audio from any HDMI source signal and pass-through 4K or HDR video to a compatible display/TV while outputting HDMI Audio to an AV Receiver with HDMI input1. It can be useful in situations where the TV is not able to extract the audio and send it over to the soundbar without processing, as you mentioned.



Regarding Dolby Atmos implementation, it is a surround sound technology developed by Dolby Laboratories that expands on existing surround sound systems by adding height channels, allowing sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. It has been adapted to a home theater format and is the audio component of Dolby Cinema. However, the implementation of Dolby Atmos can vary depending on the device and its capabilities. For example, on Windows 10, Dolby Atmos is enabled by leveraging Microsoft’s Spatial Audio APIs.



It’s possible that the audio delay issue you’re experiencing could be related to the specific implementation of Dolby Atmos on your devices. It might be helpful to check for any updates or settings that could improve the situation.

I hope this information helps!

Kind regards,

After a lot of test, to solve it i plug xbox on my lg cx with option sync AV arc bypass and activate earc with my denon 1600h.

If earc is off there is a big audio delay but my denon receive an atmos emulated (pcm) for all game, If earc on no delay atmos OK on halo, forza etc... But no atmos on ubisoft game same as farcry 6.

Ubisoft game not really atmos but a dolby 7.1 sound ?

My conclusion If xbox use dolby atmos emulation or no earc there is a delay, if earc activate no delay but only atmos with game compatible

I'd like to add. After thorough testing. It is also introducing a delay, even on ATMOS games, like A Plague's Tale Requiem as described in that gigantic thread here that Microsoft keeps ignoring.

I understand your role in the type of reply you made but the honest truth is that Microsoft HAS to be aware of this as it's been reported endlessly since 2020 and nothing has been done to fix it or even acknowledge it. People invest in expensive equipment to experience features that should work otherwise why even have them?

At this point, Dolby Atmos Home Theatre is broken. Audio delay, missing center channel (on non atmos-games / dashboard) etc. Only 5.1 and 7.1 Uncompressed work well and you can instantly tell how responsive it is when moving around the dashboard, zero lag introduced.

It's unacceptable for Microsoft to just ignore this, what's the point on playing ATMOS games if there's a delay? What's the point in advertising ATMOS if it doesn't work properly. This delay / issue does NOT happen on PC btw, so there's something, most likely, in XBOX's software that is hindering this.
