Causes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When your Roku sound has this issue, the cause can be the connection (wire and wireless), Roku, the content, or the speakers.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common reason is the internet, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geeksforgeeks.org\/what-is-network-congestion-common-causes-and-how-to-fix-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">network congestion<\/a> or fluctuations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When streaming content, the device buffers data to ensure smooth playback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this process is delayed, the video and audio might fall out of sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This delay buffering can happen when the network experiences heavy usage, low bandwidth, or a weak Wi-Fi signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, the device might pause to buffer, causing the audio to lag or precede the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the wire connection, the sound and video might not work well together if it&#8217;s loose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you&#8217;ll find a mismatch between the audio and video signals if there&#8217;s a problem with its <a href=\"https:\/\/tripplite.eaton.com\/products\/hdmi-cable-types\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HDMI cables<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, the problem may come from your TV&#8217;s external speaker system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system often has a bit of delay when it comes to sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if your external speakers have problems, their delay will annoy you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the issue comes from Roku. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have many apps open, or your Roku is a bit old, your device can&#8217;t ensure the sound and video match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or if its audio settings are corrupted, audio problems will occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the content you&#8217;re watching can cause the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the source of the show or movie has been encoded improperly or has inconsistent frame rates, it might not play back correctly on your Roku, making the sound and video out of sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Fix_Roku_Sound_Out_Of_Sync\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>How To Fix Roku Sound Out Of Sync?<\/strong><span

implement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever I have this audio issue, I use the following solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Check_Connections\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>#1. Check Connections<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to do when experiencing this problem is to check the connection, including Wi-Fi and wire connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check the Wi-Fi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If other devices like phones and laptops also have slow internet, it&#8217;s probably an issue with the Wi-Fi, not just your Roku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, you can restart the router and modem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure your Wi-Fi router is in a central location, preferably elevated and away from obstructions like walls or large electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check the wires<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, look at the power and HDMI cables of your TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&#8217;s loose, gently but firmly push it into the appropriate ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check for visible damage, like frayed or bent connectors, cuts, or exposed wires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see any issues, you might need to replace the cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Power_Cycle_The_TV\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>#2.

Use Internal Speakers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The internal speakers of your TV might have less processing delay than external audio systems, which could help improve synchronization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can try using the internal speakers by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Access Settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the home screen, find and select the Settings option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Access the Audio settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Choose the Audio Mode option<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: <\/strong>Choose TV speakers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the option that allows you to use the TV&#8217;s internal speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/smarterve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Choose-TV-speakers-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"#3.
