YouTube App Playback issues on S22 Ultra (Exynos)

[Zus]

Hello,

I was wondering if some are having playback issues on the YouTube App. My phone is lagging when trying to fast forward or backward. Also, my audio seems to be out of sync with the video.

Thanks,

Zaid

Okay say I had same issue until I found the problem.

It's is the audio codec scaleable enabled so turn it off.

Go to settings, about phone, tapp build until developer mode comes on.

Then in developer mode scroll down to Bluetooth audio codec

And change it to something you like. I choose AAC.

Now I got no issues and no restarts.

Try and let me know 

 

 hope this helps. Let me know

Same issue here on my S22, on youtube, netflix etc. As mentionned by others a reboot fixes the problem but only temporarily (for a couple of minutes / hours). @Samsung Please fix this issue ASAP, it's very Annoying...

I have the same problem.

Also in a few games ,the quality of the video is minimum as default and no possible to change it.

Update:

So if I force stop the affected App, say the YouTube All, then clear both the cache, data and restart the phone. This usually helps for some time but unfortunately it comes back after a day or so and then I start having the same issues. Video and Audio sync issues, fast forward/backward lags.

This is quite disappointing.

I've also been facing many other bugs with this phone. General UI animations not being nearly as smooch as my older Note device. I faced another issue just yesterday where all my saved locations on the Google maps App disappeared and I had to reinstall the App for them to reappear again. Another one is Google calendar, it's soo slow and laggy, feels like a cheap phone from a few years ago.

Not sure what the hell is going on here.

Today the issue stopped and I have no idea why, I tried to change processing speed from optimized to high. The problem is gone but I cannot verify this was a solution. When I change back to optimized it does not appear again. 

I did not reinstall the YT app or other apps, no cashe cleared. No restarts or updates... Really strange. I hope it does not return but if it does I will let you know.

Thanks for the update John!

I hope I experience the same.

Got the same issue, unfortunately I can't switch codec with developer options as well so I'm stuck with fked up sync...

Hey there,

Same thing just happened to me after setting up and using my galaxy buds pro for the first time. Youtube, netflix and in general all media apps started to lag and the sound was delayed.Probably the buds triggered out some kind of bluetooth issue and the only thing That worked waa rebooting the device! I didint pay 1300 euros for this.... Samsung, do something and do it quick!!! Bad battery, lags and now this... Come on now!!!

It is grayed out when Bluetooth is turned off or if you are using on play back trying to change it. Close video app then developer mode and either turn of HD audio or change the codec. Good luck.
I have to keep changing it every time I re connect my buds. Samsung need to fix this
