Lip sync fault - Samsung QE43Q60R QLED (2019)

The Beam has lip sync problems with the new 43’ QLED TV when audio is delivered to it in dolby. No sync error with PCM.

From a cursory reading on here it seems Samsungs generally work with Sonos (ie without sync errors).

Other than adjusting to PCM are there other settings I could adjust to retain dolby while eliminating the delay?

I have seen complaints about Audio Lag on LG in this forum as well. But I have not come across any for the Sony. I see there is a X950H with eArc. But maybe it’s too new for people to have noticed yet.

Audio Lag Solution:

I now have the Cablebox to TV as HDMI for video. And discovered there is a Optical Output from the Cablebox which I used with Optical/HDMI adapter to run directly into the Beam. I'm going to get a 3-1 Optical adapter to ultimately connect all audio components including TV apps, BlueRay, and Cablebox.

After many months on the Optical I tried the HDMI ARC port again. Lo and behold, it’s not giving the audio delay. I keep track of the firmware updates on the TV and maybe the the S2 update to Beam did something - no idea. But here’s one odd thing, the audio was now slightly faster than the video. Almost imperceptible. So using the TV Sound/Expert settings, I added a slight delay.

Now got to decide if I want to upgrade to the Sonos Arc. I know I won’t probably get Atmos, but oddly, my TV settings have a selection for that. But I wonder if the sound stage is better than the Beam

The Audio Lag problem returned within a day of this post. So disappointed. I forgot to return here to update.
