Had my stick a year with no issues....yesterday everything was out of sync...stumbled across this vid and the disable HDR worked. I dont have sound bar as stick goes directly into HDMI slot on a 4kTV (with HDR oddly) but for some reason it went out of sync. Its fixed now. Thank you
OK - bought 3rd gen cube and whatever I did with audio did not help. The sync adjust did nothing, still 2 seconds out! I'm normally good with this kind of stuff but ran out of patience and reverted back to the older cube. Saw your vid and gave HDR a try and it WORKED - thanks so much. 🙂
Turning off HDR in Display worked for me with the double sound I've been having trouble with for months. It was even staying on when I went back to the Home button and I had to restart the Firestick every time. Thank you so much, I can go back to watching the news apps I like again.
OMG! Switching surround sound to PCM worked! I just use USB speakers, no sound bars. I've been restarting my two Fire Sticks 2-3 times per day for years, which has been suuuuper annoying. THANK YOU THANK YOU
I had an audio problem between my 3rd generation cube and soundbar. I switched to pcm and it took up to a minute for the sound to work. My soundbar is using an optical cable. I don't understand why when you switch to pcm it takes so long to switch but it does. I haven't had an issue since. Thanks for the update video 👍
Pcm won't give you Dolby digital I think, it'll be 2 channel something like that, the thing I can work out is playing Dolby Atmos on fire TV cube doesn't register on my Samsung qn90a, always greyed out, maybe need Atmos compatible soundbar probably
I have display and sounds. Please help. Insignia sound bar about ten years old with new Toshiba fire tv. I just switched to PCM and no weird noises so far. I was getting like odd noises, not from the program but like wires crossed weird sound.
Had to change the settings on the TV- delay audio, delayed it as much as we could and then used AV sync to slow it down by one bar and finally worked! Had nothing but issues with firestick so hoping this is it 🤞
Frustrating isn't in it, I was gonna throw all my fire stuff in the sea lol. I set my cube up perfectly, even changing the Channels for me on my tv, but I decided to add a Amazon kids Alexa to the mix and all sorts went wrong, no sound from tv, fire cube or soundbar, all other alexas in the building worked 100% but not the Fire Cube or the kids alexa... phew! As we speak, I'm factory resetting the Fire Cube in the hope that will give me sound on something lol. Thanks for your Vlogs, they always make me laugh and you give tip top info, cheers and Al si thi (Yorkshire man in Lincolnshire lol)
Sync problem fixed by hooking up HDMI e-Arc to Soundbar and to TV HDMI e-Arc input. I then attached a regular HDMI from Soundbar to the HDMI Input on Fire TV Cube. Then used another HDMI cable from the Out on Fire TV Cube to the regular HDMI input on TV. Notes: Current Fire TV Cube & Pro Remote, Samsung soundbar, Samsung Smart TV, two HDMI cables and one HDMI e-Arc cable. Audio problem: At first I could set Audio adjustment at 16 to 20; I now have the Audio adjustment set at 40 to 45. Before I hooked up the 2nd HDMI cable from Soundbar to input on Fire TV Cube, the Audio adjustment was up around 73 to 79. I am not sure how to get Audio back down to the 16 to 20 adjustment level..?
That's wierd because I did exactly the opposite to fix mine. I tried everything I could think of with my HDMI ARC cable connected and just could not get the soundbar to stay in sync. So I gave up and switched to an optical cable and that fixed it, I've had no problems since.
I only use VIZIO tv and sound bar, because I use two devices in addition one for hearing aids and one for my sony bluetooth headset, I use fiber optic for the sound. Once I switched to fiber optic I have never had an issue with sound. Fiber optic just works and after all it speed of light so keeping in sync is not an issue.
would you tell me how to sideload Equalizer FX?... I tried installing, but after installing stick shows a message "cannot install this app"... Please help
You still havent sorted out the volume issue on these videos. Ive mentioned it a few times already. The volume seems to be half to 3/4 of other videos on youtube. Loving your work.
I did increase it bud but if it goes too high then you start to hear all the background noise, breathing etc. I’m working on it though and thank you for the feedback Graham 🍻
I have an audio problem, in that the volume button on the remote does not work. The only time I have got it to work, is when using a Bluetooth ear piece. 4k max. So I have to use the television remote control. I have told Amazon, they sent me a new remote control, the sound of that doesn't work either. The rest of the remote is fine. Any ideas?
Display processing takes more time because the high content bit rates are nominally 1.5MB or above. Audio is generally 96Kb to 192Kb. All TV processing involves a delay timer Physical and/or software to sync the two streams. Your bouncing ball demo is a software add on to adjust that delay of the audio. HDR is extra video display processing to enhance the video and as you said more delay required. Sometimes extra equipment such as the sound bar can cause issues with sync. Many will apply a standard delay for the audio input and the sound bar will not be able to process the increased (HDR) video rate fast enough so the sound will be out of sync. Most sound bars have a menu somewhere to allow adjustment of audio sync.
mine was working... then it would stop about half hour in and go out of sync. Sometimes it will sync up for a moment. Now I can't get it back. On the sync tool I can get it to make noise with the blink, however its literally off one full wave so while it looks "in sync" its off by one full blip lol.
My fire TV doesn't have the AV sync option anywhere to be found. There's no bouncing ball. What else can I do? Every website and video says to use this solution, but the solution is nonexistent on my tv
Adam just bought a fire cube 3 and all of a sudden no sound from cinema hd,Prime video,Home Screen upcoming movies and shows on top.Nothing!I have fire sticks forever that work great not cube.I have fire sticks,cube hooked up to my Onkyo receiver arc out to Tv.please help
I got a firestick 4k max and once and while with sound gets all choppy, like a strobe light, either have to restart or force close the app. Never happened on any other sticks
Hi Michelle. Did you hear this from Monster box themselves. The whole point of them charging so much is that you get lifetime access, although they do say minimum 5 years. 🍻
Hi Adam. Love all your stuff & appreciate everything you do. So thank you. I would just like to share with you & anyone else who may be interested on this issue of sound. I have a Panasonic SA-PT460 DVD player(YIP) player. Which is a 5.1 surround sound system. I do not use the DVD for obvious reasons. I have an Android box & also a Fire Cube 3rd Gen. I use a fibre optic cable attached to TELEVISION from the Panasonic. I have never attached the aforementioned cable to Android box & as you are perhaps aware, there is no facility to attach it to the Fire Cube. That all said & done, what i find incredible is that when I do a 5.1 surround test on RUclips via Android/Fire Cube. The Fire Cube wins hands down on recognising all speakers individually, but not on Android box. Anyway Adam, I just thought I would give you that information. If it helps anyone KOOL. Keep up the good work.😀

My issue is: NO AUDIO AT ALL. Happens on my 4K Firestick (not Max). I have to reboot the stick, sometimes two or three times. Google suggests this is a known issue for the 4K stick, but there don't seem to be any magic answers other than to reboot.
I had problems with my firecube....I put my SkyQ box through the hdmi in port...I got pictures but no sound....I bought some new HDMI cables as mine were quite old.... Fixed it no problem....
I would have this issue about once or twice a month with my Firestick 4k. I would simply restart the stick and it would fix it every time. I now have the 4k Max (for well over a year now) and I have yet to have this issue.
For some reason when I go to live tv the audio doesn't work but I can hear the clicking sound when changing outputs. Anybody know how to fix this? Audio works fine on RUclips and all other apps
When using the"K" app with a build installed, some addons work with media codec "on" some "off". Also gui resolution off, and display refresh rate off/on, minimise black bars....HQ scalers . between diff links. Searching for a universal setting! Lol 🤓
Display & Audio/HDMI CEC Device Control - Turn Main Control switch off, then turn it back on. Note - This worked for me, but on a different device which was an ONN. Might help someone. Have a great day!
I also fixed my audio on my FIRESTICKS. I put all of them in the garbage can. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the videos coming. Hope you have an awesome day. Much love bro
It worked that bouncing ball was a massive waste of time. Thanks

Audio, Surround Sound changed to PCM and several tweaks on AV Tuning Sync and my headache has gone!! Thank you 🙌🌟
This video is a lifesaver. Tried all different ways on RUclips with no success. I just disabled HDR, wow it fixed the issue. Thanks
OMG! Switching surround sound to PCM worked! I just use USB speakers, no sound bars. I've been restarting my two Fire Sticks 2-3 times per day for years, which has been suuuuper annoying. THANK YOU THANK YOU
PCM was the magic button. THANKS! I'm learning all kinds of Firestick voodoo from you! ;)
Absolute legend. Using pass through was my only way not to get audio delay but it kept disconnecting. Going Dolby plus sorted it
Thank you!!!! Disabling HDR and changing audio to PCM worked a treat. Nearly sent our new fire stick back as the audio issues were breaking me 😂
Omg thank you so much! I have been having this issue forever not able to find a fix until your video!
I had an audio problem between my 3rd generation cube and soundbar. I switched to pcm and it took up to a minute for the sound to work. My soundbar is using an optical cable. I don't understand why when you switch to pcm it takes so long to switch but it does. I haven't had an issue since. Thanks for the update video 👍
Excellent, well done, turning off HDR worked when nothing else would. You absolute Leg End
The PCM method worked for me. THANKS so much, this has been frustrating me for years
Wow thank you so much man,I’ve been struggling with this issue for ages and the resolution was the problem,you are the man
Omg! It worked. Thank you so much. Been out sink for months 😊😊
Wow….been dealing with this issue for two years and you just fixed it for me. Thank you. Sub as well!!
Wow!!! It just worked..thank you very much brother, I am with firestick 3rd gen
I never would have thought of this. Thank you for sharing!
Pcm won't give you Dolby digital I think, it'll be 2 channel something like that, the thing I can work out is playing Dolby Atmos on fire TV cube doesn't register on my Samsung qn90a, always greyed out, maybe need Atmos compatible soundbar probably
I have display and sounds. Please help. Insignia sound bar about ten years old with new Toshiba fire tv. I just switched to PCM and no weird noises so far. I was getting like odd noises, not from the program but like wires crossed weird sound.

Seriously huh? Been a week and going nuts but I think I got it
Do you find the 4k max remote creaks and feels cheap?
i tried everything for months. this worked! disable HDR. nice thank you i just subscribed

Finally! A video that helped! Disabling hdr did it for me!
Thank you for this. Disabling HDR fixed my issue as well!
Hello, how to fixe microphone in zoom app, using the fire stick?
Changing the hardware encoder on mx player can help as well. I recently switched from an optical cable to a HDMI arc which helped.
That's wierd because I did exactly the opposite to fix mine. I tried everything I could think of with my HDMI ARC cable connected and just could not get the soundbar to stay in sync. So I gave up and switched to an optical cable and that fixed it, I've had no problems since.

Thank you! I think we got it. Same issue with sound bar
Is it possible to have the audio stay when I turn my tv off so I can listen to a movie on my earbuds and have my tv off but my actual fire stick on?
My fire TV doesn't have the AV sync option anywhere to be found. There's no bouncing ball. What else can I do? Every website and video says to use this solution, but the solution is nonexistent on my tv
Thank you I followed your instructions and know it works just fine

Great video and info mate thanks 🙏🙏

Yes normally on Kodi out slightly
Thank you!! It worked for me ☺️
PCM worked for my surround sound system environment (no sound bar)
I had a similar issues when I bought a 65-inch TCL TV. It didn't play nice with my Android box with the audio.
My issue is: NO AUDIO AT ALL. Happens on my 4K Firestick (not Max). I have to reboot the stick, sometimes two or three times. Google suggests this is a known issue for the 4K stick, but there don't seem to be any magic answers other than to reboot.
Mine isn’t out of sync mine is garbled sound
Nice one mate.
You are a flippin star! Thank you!
I had problems with my firecube....I put my SkyQ box through the hdmi in port...I got pictures but no sound....I bought some new HDMI cables as mine were quite old.... Fixed it no problem....
Nice one Adam but get rid of your Amazon music notification
Tried the AV synch with no acceptable result. Turning off HDR worked great with the default factory sync setting!
I would have this issue about once or twice a month with my Firestick 4k. I would simply restart the stick and it would fix it every time.
I now have the 4k Max (for well over a year now) and I have yet to have this issue.
Great Video
Yes! Fire TV 4k is quiet with the bluetooth soundbar.
For some reason when I go to live tv the audio doesn't work but I can hear the clicking sound when changing outputs. Anybody know how to fix this? Audio works fine on RUclips and all other apps
This makes me want to pay Pong. Cheers Mate!
Luckily have had no issues with my soundbar but thanks for the information
I fixed the audio on my Fire stick ,I took a sledgehammer to it 🎉😂
While that may solve the problem.. I not sure it qualifies as fixing it.😂
Awesome joke stay safe always ❤
Thank you .hdr was my issue .

Nice one 😄😄
My microphone stopped working over 12 months ago, other than factory reset anyone know of a possible fix🤔
There no sound at all on my fire stick on a tcl tv
Changing to PCM worked, yay!!
My Bluetooth soundbar connects, but I get no sound out of it. I’m ready to go postal
Never had this issue before, is it a new problem?
It’s mainly when using a soundbar people get audio issues. But yes, it’s quite common 🍻
@@FreeTech oh ok thanks Adam. Must of been a lucky one not had that issue before. All the same thanks for resolving another issue 🍻
This video is dark ?
Cheers for doing this clip
disabled HDR and problem is no more.
Firestick 3rd party app.
I found if I have this problem I just turn off power supply and wall and wait 5 minutes and then turn on supply at wall and its fix for me
I also fixed my audio on my FIRESTICKS. I put all of them in the garbage can. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the videos coming. Hope you have an awesome day. Much love bro
