How to Fix Sound Delay on TV Streaming Apps on Apple TV
Have you ever begun viewing something on your Apple TV only to discover that the audio and video are no longer synced? You probably don't realize how typical this is. There are a couple certain fixes if the audio on Hulu (or another streaming service) becomes out of sync:
- Maintain the most recent version of Apple TV. Go to Settings on your Apple TV first. Use your Siri remote to activate Siri and say, "Open Settings."
- Choose System (if using an HD or 4K Apple TV) or General (if using an older Apple TV).
- Choosing Software Updates.
- Choosing Update Software.
- Choose Install or Download and Install from the available options if an update is available. To keep things working smoothly in the future, think about enabling Automatic Updates.
- Then, if there is still slowness, you might need to change your audio and video settings. To do this, go to Settings and choose Video and Audio.
- Select Format under Video.
- Make an alternative format choice. You may need to experiment to see which format is ideal for the app that is having issues with audio syncing because it is likely that some apps perform better with some formats while experiencing delays with others. Before testing each format, your TV may need to be restarted if you use a speaker. This may require unplugging the speaker, waiting a while, and then plugging it back in.
- Next, select Match Content from your Video and Audio settings.
- Make sure Match Frame Rate is not enabled since this could interfere with audio synchronization.
- Consider switching back to utilizing your TV's built-in speaker if none of the aforementioned measures have worked and you are using one. Tap Audio Output under Audio to achieve this.
- Pick your TV speakers.
- Tap Reset Video Settings in the Video and Audio settings if you're still having trouble with audio and video synchronization.
- To accomplish this, you must confirm your desire to Reset Video Settings.
I'm done now! Most audio synchronisation issues can be solved by following the aforementioned procedures. However, if the out-of-sync audio problem persists, inspect your speaker, HDMI, Apple TV, and TV cords for any obvious damage and replace them as necessary. As a last resort, get in touch with the Apple Support team directly.
