I'm fairly certain this has been discussed before, but I need a definitive answer.
I have an Arc w/ 2 Ones acting as rears for surround sound that are connected via ARC (not eARC - the TV doesn't have it) to my 2017 Samsung Series 6 (model no: UN55MU6290) which is also connected to my PS5.
Notably, my Samsung does not have an eARC connection. I think this may be the culprit.
On my PS5, I have the following config:
-
HDMI Device Type: AV Amplifier
-
Number of Channels: 7.1 ch (issue also occurs when on 5.1 ch)
-
Audio Format: Dolby
On my Samsung, I have the following config:
-
HDMI Input Audio Format: Bitstream
-
Digital Output Audio Format: Dolby Digital
The Sonos app is telling me that the Audio In is Dolby Digital 5.1. This is great, but there is a .5 second delay upon input and sound output. All other apps I run through my Apple TV 4K have zero delay and sound great.
My question are:
-
Is my TV too old and not powerful enough to process all the data for PS5 audio in a timely manner?
-
Am I missing something in my config?
-
Would plugging my Arc into my Samsung via optical cable reduce some of that lag? If so, what downstream effects would there be to the connection between my Sonos system and my Apple TV?
Please help! I already spent a ton of money on my audio setup, so if I need a new TV might as well just add it on at this point.
