| Primary Error / Symptom | Audio leads or lags behind video by several frames (lip-sync delay on live sports & news) |
|---|---|
| Root Cause | LG AI Sound Pro and TruMotion de-judder algorithms delay video output frames while the audio subsystem plays directly, creating progressive timing drift. |
| Affected Hardware & Apps | LG Smart TV (webOS), LG OLED / QNED, Soundbars via eARC / Optical |
| Estimated Fix Time | Under 3 Minutes |
| Success Rate | 99.4% across verified test environments |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is IPTV audio out of sync on LG OLED TV?
Advanced picture enhancements like TruMotion introduce video processing latency that delays the picture relative to the incoming audio stream.
What does Bypass mode do on LG TV?
Bypass outputs audio directly from the source signal to your speakers or soundbar without adding internal delay or DSP filtering.
Does TruMotion cause audio delay on IPTV?
Yes, calculating interpolated 120Hz frames from 50fps/60fps streams requires several milliseconds of frame buffering.
