I have a Pioneer Amp (SC-LX86) connected to my Pioneer TV (PDP-LX509) via HDMI.
I also have my PC (HP Z210) connected to the Amp via HDMI.
For the moment i only have some crappy L+C+R speakers connected to the Amp which i hope to resolve shortly
The TV does minimal video processing or enhancements and is set to display 'dot for dot' so video processing delays should be minimized and overscan eliminated.
Unfortunately i am noticing a frustrating audio skew which luckily can be corrected within XBMC on a per movie basis (by adding an audio delayed of 150ms).
However the audio skew does not occur if i connect the PC directly to the TV via HDMI but in this instance XBMC must do the audio decoding as the TV only seems to handle stereo PCM!
I don't understand where the audio skew is coming from.
In fact i thought the later versions of HDMI were supposed to fix audio skew issues automatically
Does anyone have any info on what may cause the audio skew issue when the Amp is in the loop and how to fix such a problem?
