It all started with my Roku TV back in November. After the latest firmware update, everything had an audio delay except for the built-in speakers. It was between 100-200ms depending on whether or not I set it to PCM or Dolby/DTS.
I had briefly tried a cheap Denon AVR (540BT) and there was zero delay whatsoever. But I didn’t have a proper speaker setup and ended up returning it. Now, I have decent speakers but the Denon wasn’t on sale anymore. So I was able to get a Pioneer VSX-532 for quite a bit cheaper (refurbished).
I got it all set up today and once I started watching anything, I could see the lips out of sync. I ran the audio sync test video on YouTube that I always use and, sure enough, there’s a delay of as much as 100ms. I just don’t understand. This happens with optical or HDMI ARC. Same exact delay. What could this be? Is there any way to fix it? Is it because of my TV?
