Increased audio latency over hdmi alpha build 2004.200319

Hi there! Have you tested to see if the HDMI is the cause of the latency or just the TV? Try hooking up your XBOX by component or composite and see if the latency still occurs. Often, when the HDMI is introduced, there is a slight latency that is noticeable
not only video wise, but audio wise as well.

That would require a HUGE amount of work, and increase costs massively.

For one, how many HDMI out ports would a console like this require, two, three, four? whatever the manufacturer did people would say they need more.

If they were to put in wireless HDMI that would increase costs massively, and also increase latency.

I couldn't find the answer I was looking for, but I'm guessing the X1 controller is using a higher frequency than the 360 controller to have a faster transfer rate with lower latency, from experience, the lower the frequency, the better it will pass through
objects but lower transfer rate, but then again, that is just a guess.

The HDMI cable thing, I recall reading somewhere that after a short distance, think it was 15 feet, that the picture/audio might suffer, and then something about increased latency.

Xbox One Insiders - 120Hz FAQ

Q: I don’t see the dropdown under the Video Output settings that allows me to select 120Hz refresh rate.

A: The Refresh setting will only appear if your console and display support 120Hz over HDMI. 120Hz is only supported on Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles, and while using a TV or monitor that supports 120Hz over HDMI. While some monitors support 120Hz over
DisplayPort, they may not support it over HDMI.

Please note that there is a bug in the 430 build that 120hz does not show if you meet these conditions but have the color depth set to anything BUT 8-bit. The new build today to Alpha (504 build) fixes this bug."

It doesn't matter. Both the HDMI audio output and the optical audio output provide the same audio signal. While one is optical and one is electrical, both are digital and contain the same information.



The only thing you should worry about is if the receiver introduces any latency in the HDMI video path.
