Xbox sound delay

I tried tweaking the delay settings on the Sky box, but when the sound was already delayed, delaying it even further just made it worse.

Updated:

I found that my soundbar SONY HT Z9F soundbar use HDMI 2.0 of which bandwidth is 18gbs connect to my TV using eARC port, so I changes my HDMI to

8K HDMI of which soundbar is 48gbs, and the delay improve a lot that it is hard to notice now.

I have tested. My set is

TV has enable eARC and set sound passthrough, HDMI BITSTREAM. XBOX SERIES allows PASSTHROUGH.

XBOX SERIES X --> LG 65 QNED90 --> SONY HT Z9F (eARC)

there is very noticeable delay on Atmos but don't have delay on any uncompressed sound like 5.1 or 7.1

XBOX SERIES X --> SONY HT Z9F (eARC) --> LG 65 QNED90

the atoms sound is sync with image, but I got a ton of delay on controller input, so I set TV image mode to Game Optimize,

and set game mode to FPS, the controller input delay is gone, but now, i got atoms delay back...

By the way, because my TV doesn't support DTS - X PASSTHROUGH, so when I connect XBOX to my soundbar, I could enable DTS X, and DTS X is working perfectly and there is no any delay comparing to Dolby Atmos.

Razer Blade 15 with RTX 2070 MAX Q --> LG 65 QNED90 --> SONY HT Z9F (eARC)

I don't have any input or atmos sound delay in this set.

So here is conclusion:

xbox series x has issue to passthrough Atmos content, even thought it is directly connect to sound bar, the sound or TV try to delay image to sync with atmos sound which causes a ton of input delay. But once you set the TV into low legacy input mode to get rid of input delay, the Atmos sound delay will be back.

And Razer blade 15 with RTX 2070 MAX Q which is PC is perfectly working at Atmos without any issue.

So this is definitely XBOX SERIES X ISSUE!!!!

I dont get unusual delay. I play rocksmith which requires 0 delay when I play and I have to set up my sound differently to get that. I know that any type of Dolby or surround sound processing will delay your sound. It's very slight though and most people
wouldn't notice. Some TVs also have settings to correct delay like that. If your running HDMI uncompressed there should very minimal delay. I know I have issues with the 3.0 cables my xbox one x came with. Could be the cable. I guess it just depends if it's
an isolated incident or if it happens all the time.

Hey there Alilagan!

Sorry to hear about the sound issue! Let's start with power cycling your Xbox One console and clearing the persistent storage off! To do that, follow these steps below:

To power cycle the Xbox One console:

• Press and hold the power button on the Xbox One console for 10 seconds.
  
• Once the unit is powered off, unplug the power cable from the Xbox One and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  
• Plug the power back into the unit and power the console on.

To clear persistent storage, follow these steps:

• Press the menu button on your Xbox One controller and select 'Settings'.
• In the Settings menu, select Disc & Blu-ray settings.
• From here, select Persistent storage and clear it.

Post back and let us know if that helps!

Does your sound bar have it's own sound processor built in? 2 sound processors would delay the signal
