Hi @jjlawren! I am loving the Sonos integration! Just wondering if there is any chance the TV Dialog Sync adjustment (Sonos Arc) can be added to HA?
It’s not currently available in the underlying library. However I was able to sniff the API calls and add a PR to eventually support it: Add audio_delay parameter for TV dialog sync by jjlawren · Pull Request #878 · SoCo/SoCo · GitHub.
Can I ask how you’d utilize this in HA? It seems like something that would be a “set once” type of option.
Very cool! Thank you! Here is my use case:
I have an Apple TV 4K, LG C1 TV, and the Sonos Arc. The ATV is my only source.
I have spent hours monkeying around with the settings on all 3 devices, but I always end up with lip sync issues. At this point it is mostly resolved. Atmos content is perfect, where before the video was way ahead of the audio. But now with non-Atmos content (such as 5.1) the audio is often slightly ahead of the video. To solve that, I can bump up the TV Dialog Sync setting on the Arc. But it is kind of a hassle and frustrating.
If that setting is in HA, I can add a button to my Harmony remote to toggle it up and down. Or I could create an automation to adjust the setting based on which ATV app I am watching.
Got it. Once it’s merged into the library it should be straightforward to add it as a number entity.

So awesome! Thank you for all of your amazing work! When do you think it would be merged to the HA core?
Most likely the next major release in February (2022.2.0).
Edit: It’s merged and will definitely be in 2022.2.0.

@jjlawren I just installed 2022.2.1 and tried the new Audio Delay slider. It works perfectly! Thank you so much for your awesomeness!
