How to Fix Audio That's Out of Sync While Streaming
Audio drifting out of sync with video is usually a settings or connection issue, not a sign of a bigger problem.
Audio sync issues usually come from how sound and video are being processed separately somewhere in your setup, rather than from the streaming app itself.
Common causes
- Bluetooth speakers or headphones, which can introduce a small audio delay
- A soundbar or receiver with its own processing lag
- An outdated app or device software version
What to try
- Check for an audio sync or delay adjustment setting on your soundbar or TV
- Restart the streaming app, and then the device itself
- Update your device's software — see our guide on updating Smart TV software
If it only happens with a soundbar
Revisit your connection setup with our guide on connecting a streaming device to a soundbar to rule out a cabling issue.
