Audio sync with Amazon Prime and Hulu on TCL Google TV?

by trev_hawk

Has anybody else been running into issues with the audio on Hulu and Amazon Prime not syncing? I never had issues with this until earlier this month when I got back from vacation and my TV updated. Prior to that I have had no problems.

For context, I have a LG sound bar that has worked fine up until now. It’s plugged in via the ACR HDMI port. I have tried switching it to using the digital output instead of HDMI and so many different audio settings. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix it? I have a 2021 5 Series if that helps at all. All updated to the latest firmware and software settings.

I have nothing to add except that I'm experiencing it too. 2021 5 series, just bought a month ago. No peripherals

Glad it's not just me. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Hulu. No luck

I had the same issue today on a TCL TV, and found this post through a Google search for the issue. Unplugging the TV for 30 seconds seems to have resolved it.

I’m having this issue on multiple streaming apps, particularly Hulu and Sling 😭

Happening to me also and started about same time as you, oddly enough I have 2 standalone chromecast google tv and both of those work fine so it's definitely something to do with the app and tv interacting in a weird way. Nothing we can do but wait for a bug fix

Same here. No idea how to fix it. Frustrating...

Just found this after a quick search, and noting that it's still happening. Ridiculous that this isn't fixed yet.

TCL Google TV here and Hulu has been out of sync for months. Seems like a bad app update. I'm looking in to sideloading an older APK, since I had to do the same for my tablet. That had hitching issues with the stream, not just audio, but the older version apk fixed it.

Pretty frustrating.

Having the same issue, been like this for about a month. Only with Hulu, all other apps are fine. Out of sync with both Sonos Beam sound bar and via the internal speakers.
