Ht-s40r audio delay with ps5

[Crustis91]

Hi all this issue has been driving me mad and i would hugely appreciate support please. 

I have the Ht-s40r connected to a Samsung TV via optical cable. Works fine. 

Ps5 is connected via hdmi to the TV. I set ps5 output to dolby, TV input to bitstream, TV output to dolby. I then get surround sound with noticeable lag. 

If I change the playstation to pcm as many recommend it only comes through as stereo. I have tried endless mixtures of settings and I cannot get the ps5 to run without delay. Could a new television fix this? Or would I be wasting my money? Is it a soundbar issue? 

Thank you

Maybe I misunderstood. Is ‘that port’ on the TV or on the soundbar?

I took it as on the TV.

Hdmi 3 is on the TV connected to the hdmi out of the soundbar that has not any hdmi input . So the hdmi arc is dedicated to it and you cannot use to feed any other video source to the TV. In any case it shows no lag, no black screen, no mute after pausing the source . Simple but quite effective 5.1 system.
