ESPN Lip Sync Issue

[azxd09]

I notice at some point over the past few months (not sure exactly when), the lip sync on the ESPN's seem to be slightly out of sync, audio seems delayed a bit. Is anyone else seeing this? I am seeing it on all devices, so its nothing related to a device. All other channels including all other TVE channels have perfect sync, just seems to be the ESPN family. I am running the latest Channels beta release on Ubuntu 24.04.

When I stream on a browser directly on Watch ESPN - Stream Live Sports & ESPN Originals, the sync is also perfect.

Thanks in advance!

This is a longstanding issue with ESPN's broadcast. Most people don't notice it because you rarely see a commentator's mouth during a game, but it also really bothers me if I happen to watch their news shows.

This affects people watching with cable, ESPN's own app, etc. so this is only fixable by adjusting audio sync on your own devices. I know you said it's fine on their website, but that hasn't been my experience.
