There is considerable delay with this video (audio lagging behind video). I can't get the audio to passthrough as 5.1, either. It outputs to the receiver as stereo, even though I have all settings set to passthrough DTS and DD audio.(2019-04-27, 02:50)Luke M Wrote:(2019-04-26, 19:46)FireInMyHole Wrote: Is everyone else having audio sync issues with this stick?I haven't had this problem.
I'm setting one up for a friend. I've been a long time user of the first and second generation Fire TV's. Not at all impressed with this iteration, so far.
Netflix, Youtube, etc are fine, but nearly every video file I've tried in Kodi has required an audio offset. Typically, that's .05s, but VP9 encodes are more than double that. Nothing I've tried - (FireOS set to Stereo, Kodi set to Stereo, various permutations of frame rate switching) has made any difference whatsoever.
The FireTV 4K does weird things with stereo - it transcodes to DD/DD+. That must add some delay so maybe it's related to your problem (just speculating). You can avoid that by setting Kodi to "fixed" 5.1 instead of "optimized".
Tried various combinations of Stereo/Dolby on both Kodi and the stick. Also passthrough. Had no noticeable effect. TV is being output to a stereo, btw.
Wondering if I might have faulty hardware or whether everyone is experiencing it?
I do have some sync issues with Blu-rays that are correctly passing through DTS-MA, but it's not as bad. I still need to set up my system with a hardwired ethernet connection, so I haven't fully tested the Blu-ray quality video and audio, though.
