eARC issues Sony 65A8

[cap3na]

Hi Everyone, 

I'm having an issue with the eARC connection.

My configuration is eARC from TV (Sony A8) to ---> eARC Yamaha A3080 receiver.
Both eARC are "on".

When opening any internal streaming app on TV (such as Netflix, AppleTV, Youtube) I find that starting any film/video there is a very short audio delay or lag. Video comes up but audio a few milliseconds after or so.

Then I turn eARC mode "off" in the TV and all works smoothly perfect. There is something weird here.

I use a new brand Belkin 4K UHD cable and tried restarting and changing all settings but no success.
Both firmware are the latest already installed.

Does anyone know if Sony is working on a fix for these issues?

I’m having the same issue on my Sony Bravia with audio delay with my soundbar. Tried the soundbar on my mums tv and no issues. It’s got to be something in this new firmware  update

Hi Cap3na,

What is the software version on the TV? Is it the v6.5042? Have you tried disabling the pass through option from the TV by pressing the home button- select settings- audio output and disable the pass-through option?

Regards,

Gladio

When I push help it comes up with version PKG6.7140

Ever since then I’ve had audio delay. Tried my soundbar on my mothers TV (not a Sony) and worked fine

Also don’t have the pass through option on my tv

Hi Mrbuckets,

Is it possible to try another eARC soundbar and check if you will experience the same issue?
