Apple TV 4K multiroom audio delay

My ATV4k is connected to my Harmony via HDMI.

I would like to be able to listen to the audio in other rooms on other B&O NL-products, but I am experiencing >1000ms delay when I “touch to join” from other room.

How can I get rid of the delay?

PS. I do not have any sync issues when network link/multiroom is used for audio only. 

anyone ?

I am not an expert and don't have any NL gear, but I had a quick look at the Beolink Handbook (version 1-9) and I think that your issue is covered on page 41.

Basically it states that 'it is recommended to set the Network Delay WLAN to 200ms if sound from video sources are distributed.'

I hope this helps!

(EDIT:  You used to be able to find the Beolink Handbook easily on an internet search but it has disappeared from my usual link.  I do have a downloaded copy that I could pm to you, unless someone else has a working link).

Here's the page in case you can't find it - sorry about blur but tricky to extract from pdf, if you click on the image it should open larger and clearer!

I have an Eclipse 55 1. Gen, and according to B&O, sounds in other rooms from HDMI sources will have a delay over NL. Even the sound from the built in tv tuner has a delay between my living room and the kitchen over NL.

I assume the same will apply to a Harmony.

I also have a BV11, and here all sources are in perfect sync over NL.

Just pass the ATV for Audio and Airplay directly to the Harmony.

 

Thanks a lot for your support/help - much appreciated !!!!

I think I have found the reason. I have etabled the “enable multiroom for AirPlay” on all my B&O NL-products. I want to have this function in order to distribute airplay through NL and thereby keep sound in sync in all rooms.

However, this function introduce a significant delay but I guess there is no workaround for that. I will mute my Harmony if I want to distribute the sound to other rooms and I will hereby not notice the delay.
