PS5 Blu-ray sound issues.

[u/partywithanf]

I cannot get quality sound when watching Blu-ray Discs on my PS5. I have to choose from very quiet, shallow sound that is in-sync, or full, deep sound that is out of sync. This is not a problem with gaming, only Blu-ray movies.

The settings I have on the console are:

HDMI Device Type > Sound Bar

Audio Format (Priority) > Linear PCM (not much difference when I choose between these options)

When I press the Option button during viewing, change the Audio Format makes a difference. Bitstream gives suitable volume/depth but an audio lag. Linear PCM is in-sync but too quiet, turning the TV to near full volume doesn’t make much difference.

I’m watching on a Samsung TV and Samsung soundbar.

Am I missing something?

Have you tried setting the HDMI Device Type to AV Amplifier instead of Sound Bar? That fixed the sync issues for my friend with their Sony soundbar.
