I've been living with lip sync issues (audio behind the video) since I got my Playbar about a year ago but I finally decided to do something about it. After multiple conversations with Sonos support and the LG's support people (they kept blaming each other for the audio delay), I decided to email Sonos' CEO about the issue.
After a few hours, I got a reply back from him, CCing a team manager who was going to look into the issue. We scheduled a call and he had me send various diagnostics to him. He said that the engineering team was going to investigate and get back to me.
A week later, I got an update. He told that they are still working on the issue. He also said that only one other person had reported the same issue (I assume that means that only one other person with an LG TV). So, if you're having audio delay issues and you've tried all other troubleshooting, reach out to Sonos support and have them look into it. If it helps you might mention my reference number, which has already been escalated:
Keep in mind that my setup is pretty straight forward (LG C6 OLED TV connected directly to the Playbar via Optical, audio playing from the built-in apps) and every single thing LG and Sonos suggested, including going into the TV's service menu and changing things there.
I know there are multiple post on the topic so hopefully we can solve at least some of the issues causing audio delay.

I have sent in a ticket to LG Engineering and Sonos Engineering on the audio delay issue when gaming from an Xbox One X or PS4 Pro using Bistream Out (Dolby Digital 5.1).
PLEASE do the same and report these issues if you suffer from this issue!
The setup I have is simple:
1. Roku Ultra
2. PS4 Pro (bitstream out)
3. Xbox One X (bitstream out)
4. Nintendo Switch (uses Linear PCM 5.1 converted to Stereo)
These are all attached via HDMI 1,2,3,4 to my LG 65C7P OLED TV.
Then, using digital optical out from the LG TV, I am connected to the digital optical input on the Sonos Playbar (with two Play:1’s, and a sub).
The audio delay from the gaming systems (specifically PS4 and Xbox One) is horrendous.
Note: There is no audio delay on the ninentdo switch because it is using PCM, not Dolby Digital. The TV nor the Sonos can convert 5.1 PCM to Dolby Digital 5.1 on the fly. I don’t believe there is even a device that does this either. This means you will get emulated Stereo sound from the SONOS when playing the Switch. Darn.
Note2: There is no perceived audio delay using the Roku Ultra to watch Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO etc.. (Picture Mode ISF Bright or other). This could be because gaming is higher speed video content than movie or TV playback, and the video processing and picture modes alleviate any perceived audio delay, but I’m not 100% sure.
Note3: There is no audio delay when using built in LG smart apps such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu etc...)
LG software has the ability to adjust the audio sync (AV Sync Adjustment) between -5 and +15; however, my testing indicates that going to -5 does not alleviate the issue and has no perceptable difference in audio delay. LG software settings also have the ability to bypass (Bypass: On/Off) the TV but that setting also does not correct the gaming audio delay.
The problem is that the video is ahead of the audio and to make matters worse, when gaming, we obviously want to use the LG Picture Setting for GAME to reduce input lag. When doing this, the audio delay becomes even more noticeable and makes gaming almost unplayable. (especially online multiplayer shooters).
I have scoured the internet looking for solutions such as:
HDMI Switch with Audio Extractor*
Affordable AVR that has optical out and does not amplify the audio signal to use with Sonos system
LG Settings
Xbox Settings
Sonos Settings
*These products exist but they don’t seem to have the latest video standards yet (4:4:4, 4K, HDCP 2.2, HDMI2.0a or HDMI2.0b, 60hz etc...). Buying anything less would mitigate the value of the LG OLED TV and what it is capable of displaying.
Nothing I have done or tried fixes the issue.
I firmly believe this is a processing issue by the LG TV that is taking an audio signal (dolby digital 5.1) from an HDMI gaming device (ps4 or xbox one) and taking too long to process it before sending it out via Optical to the Sonos playbar/surround system.
I don’t believe this is a SONOS issue; however, I do believe that if Sonos does not have LG engineering fix the software in their TV, this audio delay issue is going to cause gamers to buy a different system.
I am also considering returning my brand new system in favor of a traditional wired speaker solution with a proper Audio/Video Receiver (AVR). This is how severe this issue is to me as a gamer.
P.S: This is unrelated but...Sonos, please update your products to handle DTS and other newer audio codecs. It’s 2018. We love your products but there are severe drawbacks and limitations currently.

I just spoke to the LG VIP support representative She indicated that the firmware update to resolve the lip sync issue is scheduled to be released this Friday ( it may take a few weeks to be available to all consumers )- a hopeful development -
Matthew,
Thanks for taking the time to write your suggestion. I think that’s probably a good product; however it fundamentally misses the point. The LG B and C OLED models have an issue with the audio delay and we need the community to call it in and report it.
I called LG for a followup on my service ticket today and the VIP customer service department at LG (you can get transferred to VIP if you prove you own an OLED model) told me that they have received so many calls on this issue recently that it has become a top priority for the LG engineering department in South Korea.
That’s progess.
They also told me that they are no longer capturing new tickets for this audio sync issue because they have all the information that they need and got a system wide email on Monday instructing them not to. They said there is no current ETA for this resolution but that they are working on it now and encouraged me to keep automatic updates turned on in the software settings of my TV.
Also progress.
Customers shouldn’t be relegated to buying a $300 HDMI Switch with Audio Extractor or a receiver. One of the alluring points of a soundbar setup (LIKE the Sonos system) is the simplicity of the setup and ease of use. Buying a receiver or a switcher fundamentally negates that idea. Plus, $300 is a lot of money for such a product. Budget receivers cost around the same amount. (Note: If you think you can buy a receiver to use with the Sonos system to solve this problem, my understanding and research indicates you cannot. Most receivers amplify the signal of the audio outputs (whther through hdmi or optical out), and the Sonos playbar already amplifies the signal. Double amplification will not work and could damage the system. If there is a receiver on the market that has passthrough audio and does not amplify the signal, then this could theoretically work with SONOS if you can find that product and want to spend the money to go that route.
So again, while the switch is probably a great product and fixes the issue for you and anyone else willing to buy it, I view it as a bandaid to the problem rather than a resolution to the actual underlying issue.
I also spoke with SONOS and they have escalated this issue to Tier 2 and told me their engineering department has been in contact with LG.
I hope this information finds its way to any customer who has spent good money and may be bashing their heads against a wall out of frustration.
Bottomline: Please continue calling in and reporting your audio delay or sync issues until this gets resolved.

Update on 1/29:
I called LG VIP support for an update on my audio delay/sync ticket and they said there is still no ETA but the audio issue is currently being tested in their engineering department. That’s a good sign and hopefully they will soon push out LG TV firmware to address this.
Please continue calling in tickets to LG and/or Sonos (Sonos will say it is not their problem but then request to have their engineering team reach out to LG) ! We have to keep reporting tickets to customer suppoer to indicate how widespread this problem is.
P.S. Please see my lengthy posts above for tons of valuable information.

Hello everyone. Quick update: The team is aware of an issue with LG OLED and Sony XBR TV's using Dolby Digital and lip sync. It'd take a firmware update to fix it on the TV's side of things, but we have no word on that. This can be further tested and verified by changing the audio from Dolby Digital to PCM (Stereo) or by testing the audio with another optical audio source such as your cable box. Thank you for your patience on this so far.
I thought I was going out of my mind until I saw this thread. Just bought a Sony xe93 & a Playbase. It's as if you need the delay slider to go the other way? Mines very close but now I have seen it I'm allways looking. Don't want to put optic from Sat box to playbase as it leaves sound on when tv switched off.
TV, Sat box & Sonos all set to 0. I'm not sure it's a Tv issue as there appears to be differing makes/models. Think Sonos need to work on this.

I’ve tested to unplug the beam, and by passing Bistream Dolby from the PS4, there is also a delay in the audio from the internal TV speaker. This means that the problem is the TV processing audio coming from HDMI sources causing the delay. So if there is a delay with the Beam, the Arc should also experience the same issue… I’ve read a lot about this and it seems that many TVs have trouble to pass audio from one HDMI source to another, inducing a delay.
That sounds really frustrating, Prodan, thanks for sharing. It looks like that case you mentioned is open with one of our most senior technicians, so you're in good hands. Let me know if I can help with anything else, and hopefully we can get all your questions answered soon. Talk to you soon!
I too have had this issue but just lived with it. I can adjust the lip sync delay settings and it does make a difference but no matter what the setting the audio and video are never all the way in sync.
By the way, I have a Sony TV.

I should also add I am using an LG 65C7P with firmware version 04.70.36.
I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for posting this information. I’ve spent a lot of wasted time trying to get line out to work perfectly with 5.1 on my LG OLED C7. Currently use an optical audio splitter as a workaround, but obviously not ideal. I’ve been doing that for years with an older cheap Visio TV, but it was frustrating that finally getting a new TV didn’t solve my audio issues. It would be awesome if Sonos worked with LG and other TV companies to “certify” models that they work with 5.1 and Playbar/Playbase perfectly, rather than just holding out hope the manufacturer even passes 5.1, let alone does it right.
My understanding is that the LG sound sync option is to sync the audio between the LG OLED TV and the LG Sound Bars (specifically LG SJ7/8/9).
I know this because that’s what the manual says to enable as I briefly owned the LG SJ9 soundbar and the audio was not synced correctly without that option enabled.
Full disclosure: The LG SJ9 sound bar with atmos was not nearly as good as the Sonos 5.1 system. The rear channels from sonos make more of an impact on listening than atmos in my opinion.
Thanks clipper- Yea, that's what I read as well. Guess I was confused since I do not have an LG sounbar (have a Sonos soundbar/sub), but am getting audio through my sounbar/sub with the LG sync option enabled (and there is no audio delay issue). Would this technically be a workaround?
I just called LG about this, and their VIP support told me that the engineering team is still aware of the issue and is investigating. They could not provide me with an ETA on the fix, unfortunately.
Also, in playing with settings, I found that turning on A/V Sync Delay, then setting it to 'Bypass' significantly improved the sync. It's now barely noticeable, which is an enormous improvement on what I was observing before.

Please keep us posted on this. I am getting audio delay with my PS4 Pro on my full 5.1 Sonos system with my LG OLED B7A. Funny thing is that all other devices are perfect. No audio delay with Apple TV or 4K Blu-ray Player.
Just had my playbase and LG Oled TV installed. Experiencing lip sync delay. It is not consistent. Sometimes it appears synced and others times not especially when I first start watching. It seems to work well when playing Netflix.
Experiencing this issue as well. Just throwing my info in if its helpful. I get lip sync issues with this combo:
- Playbase and 2 PLAY:1s
- Sony XBR55X900E
- Xbox One X
The xbox is connected to the TV via HDMI, the TV to the Playbase via Optical
I have no lip sync issues when using one of these instead of the xbox one:
- Apple TV
- PS4
- Nintendo Switch
- Playbase and 2 PLAY:1s
- Sony XBR55X900E
- Xbox One X
The xbox is connected to the TV via HDMI, the TV to the Playbase via Optical

This issue is all over the internet. It seems like people give up.
I’m using a playbase, LG C7 oled, and Xbox one S. There’s a delay when the Xbox is set to bitstream surround, but not uncompressed stereo.
The way I mitigated the audio delay was by running my optical directly to the playbase, from the Xbox one s. Not ideal because you give up the TVs switch capability. but it works.
The problems everyone seems to be having originates at the hdmi to tv/ tv optical out to playbar playbase pass through.
The sonos app has an audio delay, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Super frustrating.

I just spoke with a Sonos rep. The gentleman I spoke to had no idea win an update would be becoming out and alluded to the fact that the update would be to the firmware on the television and I have (LG OLED) not to the Sonos play bar. Can you imagine all the people that will be selling their play bars on various sites if they don’t figure this out. While their at it they could update the playbar for Atmos too. I’m giving it another month and I’m out. Their are plenty of great sounding soundbars out there. What a bummer. Thanks for the update.
Either one of them, whether it be LG or Sonos should/ could step up. The common denominator is Sonos- difference is thier av sync function is not robust.. other sound bar manufacturers offer much more flexibility in regards to this feature.
I have seen on threads this problem with different brands of tvs and sound bars, but the combo most of the people posting here has a Sonos playbar/ playbase, and in turn seems to be one of the most common generally speaking.
It would be nice to have a combo of remedies to mitigate the problem.

Wow. I was about to drop 2500 dollars in SONOS for whole home setup with vinyl integration and connection to LG C7. Going to stick to TV. May have to wait out or find another solution for home theater. Little disappointed in SONOS delay in newer codec integration and no ATMOS. If a wired system is necessary so be it.
If anyone here is solving lip sync issues by setting to stereo you have just wasted 700 bucks. The whole point of sonos is to at least achieve surround sound through 3.1 or 5.1 switching to stereo is degrading the system. Buy a hdmi switch with audio splitting. It is ridiculous there is lip sync issues in first place. I paid 3k for an lg oled tv and still have to pay for a splitter to solve the problem. Sort out the firmware and provide and hdmi option in future

I am using Xbox one x with bitstream out via hdmi to a hdmi switch and optical cable from switch to play base. This is only way I could solve lip sync issues.
I am using a view hd splitter from amazon that supports 4K @ 60hz with hdcp 2.2z This is needed for latest lg oled TVs c7 b7 and to support most hdr standards. If you invest in a Harmony Logitech remote you can control sonos tv splitter and Xbox from one source/activity. I would still prefer a hdmi option with aromos support. Ridiculous right now.

I would start by turning off anything in the TV’s audio settings that do anything at all to the sound profile. Any extra SRS, or ‘extra surround’ kind of things would add a small amount of extra delay. The more the sound profile is modified by any device, the longer it takes to change the original signal, which is normally synced with the video.
With your setup, you could test by temporarily removing the optical cable from the TV, and hook it directly to the Sky HD box, assuming it has an optical port. That would tell you if the TV set is adding the delay or not.

I have the same problem with a recently purchased LG OLED55B7V. Audio is delayed on dolby digital signals but fine with stereo PCM.
For me it's 100% the TV that is the problem.
I've tried audio direct from V6 box to Sonos Playbar, and sync is perfect.
I've also tried V6 to HDMI-splitter-with-optical-out, then from there HDMI to TV and optical to playbar and again sync is perfect.
But taking optical out from the TV delays dolby digital signals. Quite unbelievable that LG would ship such an expensive TV with such a serious defect.
Firmware version is 04.70.85 which is the latest right now.

After months of frustration(and hearing my wife complain about spending $5,000 for a tv and Sonos system that couldn't sync audio/video correctly), I tried the solution on my LG OLED65C7 that was suggested by MattiasI74: "I have had same issue, but think it was solved on my LG OLED65C8PLA activating setting "AV-sync" and "bypass"". VOILA! Problem solved, happy wife, happy life. Give it a try....go to All Settings-Sound-A/V Sync Adjust-turn on Bypass. Good luck!
