Hi, I need help. I have a big delay between sound and vidéo. I have a projector who is connected with hdmi on fire tv stick. And my sonos five is connected with aux cable to my projector. My delay is about à couple seconds. I try the synchronisation audio of fire tv stick but absolutly nothing changed. I love my speaker and I want it to work correctly

The ‘Five’ line-in is not designed for this purpose, as there is a minimum 75ms buffer for Sonos line-in audio (often required for room-grouping across a wired/wireless network subnet), hence the lip-sync issues with the video on screen.

You really need a device ‘fit for purpose’ - a Sonos HT main-product with the faster Optical input or HDMI-ARC/eARC input instead, ideally connected direct to your projector, is the way forward to keep all in sync.
