How To Fix Sound Delay On TV – Simple Steps to Fix Lip Sync Issues Fast

If you’re dealing with sound delay on your TV where the lips move first and the audio comes later, don’t worry — you’re not alone. This TV sound delay or lip sync issue is one of the most common problems people face while watching movies, streaming apps, live TV, or when using a soundbar. In this video, I’ll walk you through simple, real fixes you can try at home to get your TV audio perfectly synced again. We’ll start with the easiest fix: adjusting the Audio Sync / Lip Sync setting on your TV. This small tweak often solves the problem instantly. I’ll show you exactly where to find it and how to test it properly so your audio lines up with the picture. You’ll also learn how changing your Digital Audio Output from Bitstream to PCM can remove audio lag completely. Many TVs add delay when processing Bitstream, so switching to PCM sends the sound more directly and keeps everything in sync. Next, I’ll guide you through power cycling your TV and sound devices — a simple reset that clears hidden issues causing audio delay. We’ll also cover software updates, sound reset, and the right way to check ARC/eARC settings. If you’re using a soundbar, receiver, Firestick, Roku, or Chromecast, I’ll show you how to fix the audio delay from those devices too. A lot of lip sync problems come from external devices, and adjusting their sync settings can make a huge difference. Finally, we’ll look at HDMI issues, audio enhancements, surround modes, and even loose or damaged HDMI cables — because these can quietly cause sound lag without you realizing it. By the end of this video, you’ll know exactly how to fix TV sound delay and get smooth, perfectly synced audio again.
