I have a pretty common and simple system with a Beam (Gen2) and an LG OLED C2. Connected using the supplied HDMI Cable, “eARC Support” is enabled, and “Digital Sound Output” is set to “Pass Through” in WebOS.
Unfortunately, I’m experiencing a lip sync delay of about 200ms where to audio plays before the video in movies/tv shows with Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 audio streams. Dolby Atmos (over DD+) seems to be okay, however. I’m using the internal TV Apps for streaming. It doesn’t matter which ones I use (Netflix, YouTube, Plex) I always get the same delay.
When I disable eArc the delay seems to be gone but I lose Atmos support on the Xbox Series X.
What I don’t want to do is manually set the delay using the Sonos App (which by the way +5 wouldn’t be enough) every time I watch a DD or DD+ movie or disable/enable eARC every time I use the Xbox. I was under the impression delay issues would be solved by some sort of lip sync correction layer in the HDMI signal spec of HDMI-eARC and were a thing of the past. Is there something else that can be done here and/or has anyone else experienced this issue?
