Same problem here, especially with AirPods Pro 2 & 3. In exasperation I tried switching OFF Match Frame Rate on Video settings and it seems to have fixed the audio sync issue on Netflix. Not ideal but a workaround that seems to work for my setup.

Same issue, primarily on most apps, but Netflix is unwatchable! I’ve done the iPhone sync multiple times as well, seems to make it “better” but if you have a large tv with close ups on faces it’s maddening!!


Tablo, antenna streaming also worse than others. I was like others praying this would make my HomePod mini setup even better but definitely not! Please fix!!
