WiiM Amp Pro + LG C7: Strange YouTube audio delay issue - Netflix works fine?

[ghib.li]

Hey everyone!

I'm experiencing a really odd issue with my WiiM Amp Pro connected to an LG C7 TV via HDMI-ARC.

When I play videos on the YouTube app (on the LG), I consistently miss the first 1.5-2 seconds of audio from every single video I start. This happens even when I play videos back-to-back, so it's definitely not related to the Wiim amp pro standby mode, which I have set to 2 minutes anyway.

Netflix works perfectly with instant audio and no delay whatsoever. Plex also works fine with no audio delay issues. It's only YouTube that has this problem, and it happens with every single video, regardless of timing.

This never happened with my old receiver (which Wiim amp pro replaced)

Has anyone experienced something similar with YouTube specifically or another app?

Thanks!

I’ve noticed the same thing with YouTube on my LG as well — the first second or two of audio gets cut off, while Netflix and Plex play instantly. Seems to be a YouTube-specific issue with LG’s ARC rather than the WiiM itself.

There is no way to fix it so I decided to switch to freecine apk
