Hi all. I recently bought the following for a new setup:
LG C1
Sonos Beam Gen 2
Sonos Play:1 x2 (for surrounds)
I am running HDMI 2.1 from my PS5 to my TV, and from my Beam to my eARC port on the TV.
Seems to be working so far (as far as I can tell — this is a move from a worse TV, worse soundbar, and no surrounds, so it’s a lot all at once. However, in my PS5, I seem to have options between Linear PCM and Dolby/DTS. When I have it set to Linear PCM, there’s no surround. When I set it to Dolby or DTS, I get great surround, but there’s a just-noticeable-enough-to-be-annoying audio delay. Particularly noticeable with dialogue.
I have tried setting the TV to Pass-Through, I have enabled eARC, I’ve tried both Bitstream and PCM, nothing seems to resolve the issue. I’ve messed around with the PS5 settings too, making sure it’s set to AV Amplifier and 5.1. Kind of at a loss.
I asked on the PS5 Reddit and someone told me the C1s have a problem sending 5.1 to devices via PCM, while Dolby is always going to cause a delay. Is this accurate? Is there a known workaround? I am hoping there is some recourse, because I went relatively hard financially (for me, at least) for this to be a TV problem. If it’s a PS5 problem specifically, that sucks but what can ya do until Sony fixes it, I guess.
Thanks!
