Roku Ultra 2 second delay when youtube videos or ads start
I have been having the same issue since sometime in 2023 as well. Like you I use the headphones every day. Did you ever find a solution to this issue? Thanks.
Hi mrzoops,
Greetings from the Roku Community!
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We appreciate the information and the steps you have taken to figure out the issue.
Does the issue occur on a specific channel or all the channels installed on your Roku device?
Note to share. Your Roku device will pass whatever audio format is being provided by each specific channel. If the channel doesn't provide Dolcy Digital+ audio format for their content, your device cannot pass DD+ format via audio out. Your device does not downgrade audio formats on its own; however, it may select an alternate audio format that is available if a user's setup does not support Dolby Digital+, such as a receiver that is only capable of playing standard Dolby Digital. The use of some device features may be limited to stereo audio only, such as 'Volume modes'. The use of this feature will select the stereo audio format when this type of feature is enabled. Turning this feature off will then allow your device to pass other available audio formats out, such as DD+.
In addition, some channels, such as Netflix, Vudu, and Amazon Prime Video, provide DD+ audio for some of their content. Other channels may provide standard DD or only stereo-format audio for their content. You'll want to check with each channel provider directly to inquire further about their specific content offerings.
Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.
All the best,
Chel
