Severe lip sync with Apple programmes/ films I have bought an Apple TV box and it’s plugged into the STB HDMI input on my Arcam AVR21 AVR. The Arcam is connected to my Loewe Bild 7 TV via another HDMI cable. When watching Apple programmes and films there is a significant lip sync problem. I can dial it out on my Arcam with a 200ms delay. The sound arrives before the picture. But watching YT and BBC iPlayer via the apps on the Apple there is no lip sync issues. I have updated the OS to the latest version but the problem persists. I have an Oppo 203 UHD player and SkyQ box also connected via HDMI to the Arcam. There are no lip sync issues on either of those devices. The problem is restricted to Apple programmes. Please help me fix it.

lip sync on apple tv 4 Just bought the Apple tv 4,my first Apple product, really love the quality but having trouble with the AV not matching, set up as instructions by professional calibrators on the utube site i.e. set apple tv output at 50hz 4k SDR which makes my LG OLED tv do the conversion to HDR, this has sorted the picture out,not sure about Dolby Vision so left output at 4K SDR , the calibrators then tell you to turn on the match content,dynamic range,frame rate, this is where I am encountering the lip sync issues,leave these settings off and everything is fine this goes against what the pros are saying but saying this I have found turning them on and adjusting the lip sync on my Samsung N950 sound bar to sync 250 solves all problems,a faff I know but the only work around I know. This all changes when I go back to the Virgin V6 box as the lip sync is out so back to sync 0 on the bar, of course this is all repeated when I go back to Apple tv, one last thing Apple tv way better than Roku 4K box I was forever losing sound, picture with that something that prompted me to change it for a Apple product.

Hello, kwpro2.

Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you’re experiencing an audio sync issue with your Apple TV, and we'd like to help.

First, make sure you've restarted your Apple TV and you’re running the latest tvOS version.

Restart Apple TV - Apple Support

Update your Apple TV - Apple Support

Then we suggest checking the audio settings on your Apple TV. For example, your Apple TV should automatically select the highest quality audio compatible with your television, but it may not be compatible with all the content you’re watching.

Check Settings > Video and Audio > Audio Format > Change Format and test with both Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1. Does one sound better than the other?

Play audio in Dolby Atmos or surround sound on your Apple TV - Apple Support

Warmest Regards.
