Xbox One S HDMI Audio Delay

Sky HD box to Xbox One input, xbox output to tv. no splitters. I have no external sound system so delay is on hdmi audio. Sky HD direct to TV has no audio/video sync issues, audio delay is only present with Xbox one in the circuit.

Hello BOND,

First, let me say good work on testing other equipment and paths to try an isolate the problem. The fact that the HDMI 1.x on the Apple TV works with no audio delay points to something in the HDMI 2.0 path. But, where? The Samsung TV, Xbox One S, or both? While
I might agree with you that this doesn't seem to be a HDMI cable issue. It is recommended the we use a HDMI 2.0 cables to be

HDR10 compliant. Indeed, Sony is still having problems with their own TVs and PS4 using HDMI 1.4 for Ultra HD. Sony says yes,

HDMI.org says no. Again, I don't think this is a cable problem. But, to go the extra mile you might try something else instead of the (Best Buy) Rocketfish. Other than that I can only speculate that this a settings issue deep, deep inside some menu some
where. Or, a piece of some firmware waiting to be updated.

I have an Xbox One and Xbox One S. But, I have yet to get an Ultra HD TV. So, I regret that I can't offer any real firsthand help with the issue. I'm still waiting for the dust to clear on all this stuff before jumping into the land of Ultra 4K HD TV.

Good luck and good gaming,

SA

Same audio delay issue with my setup:

- XBOX One plugged into Sony Bravia TV HDMI Input 1

- Direct TV HR22 plugged into XBone HDMI In

Thanks, Lee

My home setup is:

• Cable Box to Xbox One HDMI input
• Xbox One HDMI out to Denon HDMI input
• Optical Xbox One out to Denon optical input
• Denon HDMI out to Sony TV HDMI

How much delay are you talking about? I have noticed that the audio coming from the TV speakers (comes from HDMI) is not perfectly in sync to the audio from the optical going to the receiver. Yet, the delay is not enough that it should be a noticeable problem
unless intentionally using both. I can't tell there is a sync between video and audio when using either, but I can hear able 20-30 milliseconds between the two, with the sound from the TV speakers being delayed the most.

Are you seeing this dlay when using other video, such as cable TV (using HDMI in with a cable box)?

Some receivers have settings that allow changing the audio delay a little. I don't know if these extend to optical or are just for speaker setup.

As a side note, I have an Onkyo receiver at work. I haven't heard any audio issues with it that I haven't had at home.





Thanks for getting back with this, I'm very interested for this to get resolved and to understand what the underlying issue is.

Xbox One has 2 outputs - one HDMI and one Optical Audio (s/pdif). HDMI carries both audio and video. But if you want to send your audio to a receiver that does not have HDMI inputs, then you can use the optical output from Xbox One. PS4 is exactly the
same.

And William is right - if you try converting HDMI to DVI, you will lose the audio on both Xbox and PS4 (unless you are using the separate optical output for audio).
