Netflix Audio Out of Sync? 9 Quick Fixes
Audio issues on Netflix can ruin your streaming experience. If you’re watching a moνie on Netflix and the Netflix audio seems out of sync – either a bit ahead or behind the visuals – we’ll show you nine waуs to fix the problem.
We cover fixes for devices ranging from smartphones to tablets, laptops, streaming sticks, and set-top boxes like Fire TV and Apple TV.
1. Check Your Internet Connection
You need a high-speed internet connection to enjoy an optimal streaming experience on Netflix. For example, 3 megabits per second (3 Mbps) is the recommended internet download speed for streaming Standard Definition (SD) content on Netflix. High Definition (HD) and Ultra-High Definition (UHD or 4K) movies require at least 5 Mbps and 25 Mbps download speeds, respectively.
If your internet connection is weak, slow, or unstable, you might notice a disparity between audio and video output on your device. Netflix might also throw off different error codes during video playback.
Luckily, you can test your internet connection speed from the Netflix app or web interface. Open Netflix, tap your profile icon, select App Settings, and tap Internet Speed Test.
That’ll launch a browser tab and redirect you to Fast.com, Netflix’s speed test tool that displays information about your internet connection. The speed on the result page is your connection’s current download speed. Click or tap Show info to reveal more details like upload speed, connection latency, server location, etc.
If the download speed in the network test results is lower than Netflix’s recommendations, close other data-heavy apps and processes on your device and try streaming content again. For example, suspending all ongoing downloads can help free up network bandwidth and free up internet speed.
If you’re on a Wi-Fi connection, disconnecting unused or unrecognized devices from the network can also speed up connection speed. But if the internet connection remains sluggish, reboot your wireless router and try again.
To speed up a cellular connection, disable hotspot tethering, disable your VPN, or put your device in and out of airplane mode. If nothing works, refer to our tutorial on speeding up mobile or cellular data connections.
2. Force Close Netflix

Smart TVs and streaming devices adopt different techniques and steps for forcefully terminating an app. Refer to your device’s instruction manual or the manufacturer’s website for detailed instructions on force-closing problematic applications.
If you use a Fire TV device, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Netflix and click Force Stop to terminate Netflix.
Press the Home button, relaunch Netflix, and verify if the app’s audio is now in sync with visual output.
