appletv 4K delay since update tvos15

Situation: appletv linked to Marantz receiver, receiver to Panasonic


I updated my appletv 4k and since then no streaming apps (netflix, apple+, etc) work correct.

A total lag between audio and video. Video is visibly stuttering, audio is running seconds before video.

Never had that before.


when playing sound on tv and skipping the receiver, all is well but sound is boring.


what to do next?

changed all settings on appletv and receiver, but nothing changes

I'm experiencing the same audio out of sync and video judder with my configuration and audio via airplay.


My configuration:


  • Apple TV 4K 2017 *WIRED*
  • Panasonic GZ950
  • Airport Express 802.11n *WIRED* connected to Rotel RA-1062 ampli


All wired to the same Netgear gigabit switch


I've just reinitialized the ATV yesterday with no luck.

I've done some other test with my hardware:


  • ipad (ipadOS 15.0) streaming audio to Airport Express via Airplay (Rotel output audio) -> A/V in sync
  • ipad (ipadOS 15.0) streaming A/V to ATV4K (tvOS 15.0) via Airplay (TV output audio) -> A/V in sync
  • iphone (iOS 15.0) streaming audio to Airport Express via Airplay (Rotel output audio) -> A/V in sync
  • iphone (iOS 15.0) streaming A/V to ATV4K (tvOS 15.0) via Airplay (TV output audio) -> A/V in sync
  • ATV4K (tvOS 15.0) streaming audio to Sony Headphones via Bluetooth (Headphones output audio) -> A/V in sync
  • ATV4K (tvOS 15.0) streaming audio to Airport Express via Airplay (Rotel output audio) -> A/V out of sync, video judder and stutter


The same happens in all refresh rates (60,50,25,24hz), video modes (SDR,HDR,DV) and with frame matching on or off.


So the problem seems indeed a problem of the new video player with airplay...

So disappointed after a so boring release without new features, that even broke things that usually worked


Hope for a RAPID fix in TvOS 15.1...
