Xbox app games audio lag

Hey there, WhiteJohn43!

Do you currently have your console plugged directly into your TV, or are you connecting your console to an audio receiver? Also, we'd recommend performing a

power cycle on the console to see if this will resolve the issue.

If you continue to experience audio issues, then we'd recommend reading over the

Troubleshoot Sound on your Xbox One guide for some helpful tips to help troubleshoot.

I’m going through this on the Sonos support forum now. While I was running a couple of checks, I realised that I had it a little bit wrong here:

With bitstream, there is no audio lag when playing blu-rays and I do NOT tell the Xbox to allow the receiver to decode the audio.

There is audio lag when playing games with this setup.

If I tell the Xbox to allow the receiver to decode blu-ray audio and the audio is being output through HDMI, the audio plays but the blu-ray picture freezes. I don’t believe this is an issue with the tv or Sonos because i can still move through the pop-up
menus with the picture frozen in the background and the sound playing.

If I disable the HDMI audio and use the Xbox’s optical output directly, it works as per the previous (blu-rays fine, games lagging).

I know what your talking about, but that option is comparing chat audio to game audio, not headset to tv. To clarify, the chat audio is fine and never lags; its the game audio

its actually not just the older console, i have a new slimline xbox and the game freezes all the time, or lags alot in the audio menu
