i have the same problem, it happen really often.
DMC 5 on 120fps look great, cold war probably lower some settings.
Well good to hear. Does the PS5 UI loose any "sharpness"/clarity when using 4k120hz with DMC? It's what happenes in Cold War as its 1080p/1200p with 120fps and it is noticeable, some for the Cold War UI and general graphics.
i'll double check but from the distance i see no difference. i think the blurry thing is really for more then 1080p.
It is a known issue and will be fixed in an update:
Note: The XH92 (which I have) is a UK variant of the X900H. It mentions the sound may come back after leaving it a minute or so but I've not tried that yet, I just restart the TV. It only happens with my PS5 connected to HDMI4, I have an AVR using eARC on HDMI3 and everything connected directly to that works fine without restarting.
Thanks for sharing the link. Just had this happen to my brother where there was no sound coming from the TV and was able to fix it doing the restart via remote as suggested.
I finally made an account on resetera just to comment on this....
So I've been going through the exact same issues and here's what I've come up with:
SETUP:
85X900H
- eArc enabled
- HDMI 3 set to enhanced (Dolby Vision)
- Sound profile: External speakers, Auto 2
Denon-AVRS750H
PS5 connected to HDMI 2 (4K60 MAX)
XBox Series X connected HDMI 4 (set to Enhanced 4K120)
So I've been experiencing a great deal of lip sync issues with games, movies, etc. and like a few of you here I'm super sensitive to it. The fix seems to be turning everything to DTS for the things that are connected to the TV and then use the receiver audio delay to adjust for things that are connected to the receiver. Using various tests on YouTube seems to verify that this is the fix.
For whatever ryhme or reason, when I select Dolby Digital for my game consoles it's fine except when a game doesn't support that codec natively. What ends up happening in those cases is that the receiver seems to get a stream of audio it doesn't know about so it just calls it "Multi In". THAT seems to require extra processing or something which causes a delay.
However, when setting it to DTS it never gets out of DTS mode. It's always playing in DTS Neo:X mode on both the PS5 and Xbox. Soo....there's something wrong with my receiver and the whole "Multi In".
Settings:
TV Audio:
AV Sync: Off
eArc: Auto
Audio Mode: Auto 2
XBox:
HDMI Audio: 5.1 (or whatever you need)
Bitstream format: DTS Master Audio (I think you need to purchase the DTS app for this...$25CDN)
PS5:
Audio Format: DTS
That seems to have resolved a lot of my audio issues.
When I use AppleTV Dolby Atmos works fine but anything that's just 5.1 goes to multi-channel and then there's delay. I don't know how to force my receiver to force a codec from AppleTV outside of disabling Atmos and enabling Dolby Digital 5.1
thanks for posting this. I'm having almost the exact same issues that you described particularly with audio sync.
i've been able to mostly fix it by leaving 120 Hz mode. but that still doesn't fix it entirely for bitstream formats.
There is a problem with the HDMI EArc. Namely, LPCM is fine, DTS is good (but not perfect quality compared to when I run my devices directly through my receiver), and dolby formats, particularly on xbox, have a slight sync audio delay.
Per your advice, I've set my receiver to the max available for audio sync tinkering and it still isn't enough. I am sad.
Optical is an even worse mess, I won't even go there.
I thought all the talk about the 4K 120 Hz blurriness was just people being picky. They are not. There is blur. Even after the latest "fix".
I've mostly had enough of all this tinkering and simply went back to my format of last generation.
Went back and plugged all of my consoles into my receiver, and just have one output from the receiver into the TV input. 4K 60 with HDR10 and with Dolby Vision and Atmos sound is fine with me. It looks and sounds outstanding.
But so did my last TV so I spent $1K+ for....nothing I guess.
I'm disappointed but it is what it is. I'm hoping future software updates will fix the minor EArc issues remaining.
Yep. I mean we don't have much of a choice really. When I actually tried going "old school" (everything into the receiver) I noticed that the receiver was doing *something* with the picture quality - things weren't as vibrant or colourful as they were when connected directly to the TV.
For example, in Gears of War 5, the first level, when dropping down into the water the colour of the trees and water we're very vibrant when connected directly through the TV but less vibrant when through the receiver. I confirmed that I was using the game picture mode with the same settings and the receiver supports 4K60 + HDR but I wasn't super happy.
I may try again just to confirm I didn't do something silly because the receiver should just pass through the signal.
If you want some more details I found this thread on reddit helpful:

hey thanks for the tip about the reddit thread
Going through your receiver, check to see if your receiver has a setting for pass-through versus upscaling. Sometimes you can turn off the upscaling and that will clean up the picture.
I was having audio issues with XSX but realized that it works consistently as long as I power on the TV prior to turning on the source. I would guess its some sort of HDMI handshaking issue. I also noticed that changing thr HDMI format makes the audio work again as well.
Happens to me on xbox, oddly not on PS5. Only solutions are to either restart the TV, or, have the Xbox on energy saving mode instead of instant on.
Try LPCM instead of bitstream for audio, and see if the problem still persists.
Ive never had such a great tv with so many little shitty issues. Hopefully within the next few months things are ironed out
I have a 3080 hooked up. Surprisingly works better than my console experience (I say that because consoles are supposed to be "plug-and-play"). Nvidia control panel detected everything automatically.
unfortunately I wasn't able to try that because my HDMI cable at 25 feet is an "active" cable and I don't think they make one that's capable of HDMI 2.1 yet (that's less than 50 bucks)
other than that, it does ten bit color, HDR, the works, perfectly fine. Playing doom eternal at 4K 60 with HDR and Dolby Atmos. All good. (Unlike my xbox which has audio delay with atmos...)
All these handshake issues (which I assume they are, I have no idea) with audio dropping out, are super annoying. I'm constantly restarting the TV to fix things while playing the nexgen consoles.
I had an issue the other day with my PS5. Everything was super dark in HDR. I'm like oh shit, screen panel is dying! Lol.
I reboot the tv, brightness comes back.
I already bitched earlier about my issues with the nexgen console Blu-ray players getting weird with the tv.
So many damn little issues. I hope this kind of stuff can be addressed. I really do love the screen and the game mode performance.
At least my tv doesn't turn on randomly anymore, hah.
I haven't got the new update yet. Even after the last update, Disney+ was causing WiFi to disconnect. I don't know if it was the tv or the app. I just said fuck it and ran a Ethernet cable to the tv.

Yeah for sure. I actually used several:
(6) Audio Video Sync Test - YouTube
- I found this one the most useful.
- It seems to be the easiest one to track for me when the ball hits the platform
- With this one I could tell that when everything was set to "Dolby" or "Multi-In" that things were late
- Changing everything to DTS made the sound of the ball hitting the platform timed correctly...and it just felt (I don't know how else to describe it) better
(6) Audio Video Sync Test 60 FPS - YouTube
- This one has a good blip sound and a good timeline but it's a little too fast
(6) Home Theater Audio / Video Sync Test - Lip Flap - YouTube
- Another good one but again, sometimes hard to track with your eyes and ears
There are several more on YouTube if you search "audio delay test" but the three above are the ones I found the most useful.
This is an amazing TV for sure. I think they may have rushed a few things. I mean typically when you buy a TV you have all the features available right away versus having to wait for firmware updates for 4K120 and eArc support.
Yeah I looked through the manual and there's nothing in there that seems to indicate options for pass-through outside of the standby mode receiver pass-through.
Oh good. The newest issue is the TV automatically changing inputs to HDMI 3 when I press the PS button on the PS5 controller. Fun! Except that the PS5 is on HDMI 4.
On sony's site under the update it use to say fixed and now it no longer says that
Good! MANY people are within the extended holiday returns period major retailers have set for the end of January so I can only imagine the wave of returns that would happen if they didn't fix this properly.
having paid 30% more over a comparable hisense model that did not have 120 Hz but a similar picture quality, the Sony name alone isn't worth that premium. I really hope these issues get fixed.
They aren't comparable. Don't let the high peak brightness fool you. This is a much better tv
Ive tried every delay setting on the tv and it's still mismatched
Hmmm....what is your exact setup? Like hardware plus the configuration of the TV - specifically the sound settings? I don't know if I can solve anything but I've played so much with this that I might have some insight.
You are using optical instead of hdmi?TB: Samsung Q90T
Configuration Options in TV: shown in pics below
When I use hdmi it doesn't play sound. Plus, those are the only 3 settings
I haven't bothered to look too close to the picture like the people on AVSforum have, but Siege at 120fps on the PS5 on this TV is sick with the latest update.
I also have an active cable with a 3080. I'm having trouble with enabling HDR through windows, I flip the switch, everything goes black, and it comes back and the flip is switched back off. Did you experience something similar? I'm wondering if it's because my monitor (which is also hooked up via DP when I plug into the TV) isn't HDR compatible?
Update after the (second) update. I can't tell the difference any more in terms of sharpness in game (Ori, Halo), so I'm super happy they've got it fixed at least to a level where I'll never notice. TV has been great otherwise.
biggest obstacle to getting HDR working is to make sure that Nvidia control panel doesn't have your TV refresh rate set to anything higher than 60hz. And make sure the TV is the only display you are using at once. HDMI 2.0 cables, even active ones like ours, can't display HDR at anything higher than 60hz. (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the actual real refresh rate ends up being 30 hz when HDR is running at 4K for HDMI 2.0 connections)
I recommend using a program called displayfusion, it's available on steam, you can set a permanent custom resolution for each monitor, like for your TV 2160p at 60hz, and you can flip between monitor profiles such as TV only, then dual screen if you want.
I notice a lot of my issues went away when I started using displayfusion. Because display fusion effectively forces a profile.
