Quick answer: Audio delay from digital audio processing, common when using an AVR, soundbar, or TV in 'Game Mode' or with specific audio formats.

Diagnosis

Audio delay from digital audio processing, common when using an AVR, soundbar, or TV in 'Game Mode' or with specific audio formats.

How to Fix It

Manually adjust the audio sync. Go to Settings > Display & Sound > Audio > Audio delay. While playing content, use the plus/minus buttons to adjust until the audio matches the lip movement.

If That Didn't Work

Change the audio format being sent. Go to Settings > Display & Sound > Audio > Surround sound. Try setting it to 'Never' or 'Manual' and select a simpler format like 'Stereo'. This reduces processing delay.

Heads Up

If you use an HDMI input on a soundbar first, then pass video to the TV, the soundbar may be causing the delay. Bypass it and connect the Chromecast directly to the TV to test.
