I'm facing this problem as well. I'm using sunshine on the host (Windows PC with RTX 3070) and the google streamer with moonlight as the client connected to a TV. The TV has a Samsung HW-Q990C soundbar connected via arc, the streamer is on a different HDMI port. Passthrough mode is enabled on the TV for audio. The audio is very delayed.

Found some articles regarding this too, could be a problem with the device as well?
