The issue is I only have this problem on the YouTube app, every other app I never have an audio issue

Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I understand your frustration with this audio and video desyncing issue in the YouTube app on your Xbox. Here are some steps you could follow to try to solve this problem:

Make sure your Xbox's audio settings are set correctly. You can find this setting in Settings > General > Volume & Audio Output.
Make sure you're using the latest version of the YouTube app. If not, update the app.
Sometimes problems can be caused by temporary or corrupt data stored in your Xbox's cache. To clear the cache, press and hold the power button on your Xbox until it turns off completely, then unplug the power cable and wait a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning on your Xbox.

I hope this information is useful to you, please tell me how it went, when you finish the process, I will stay tuned.

Best regards.

I miss being able to snap youtube and listen to it in the background. Not all videos on youtube are 100% visual for example comedy videos are mostly audio related. Anyways maybe a new update to the youtube app could allow it to play audio in the background
like spotify, iheartradio and pandora.
