YouTube app - audio and video out of sync

[Android Central Question]

Hi. I have an issue with YouTube Android app: video and audio are out of sync. When I start playing a video, the video pauses for a bit, however sound continues playing making the video quite delayed, or the audio being played ahead the video. I know some videos have this issue made by mastering mistake (or designed to be played on TV), however, these videos have sound played ahead the whole time and it's delayed on all other devices as well, including computer. However, when I play the same video I've encountered the phone related video/audio stuck-delay issue (or almost any other video) in computer (using Google Chrone browser), the issue is gone. Like quite any video on YouTube gets stuck-delayed and therefore out-of-sync while watching on my phone. When watching on computer using a browser, this is no longer the issue... How can I fix this issue? Upgrading YouTube app doesn't quite help...

My phone model is myPhone Hammer AXE, Android version 4.4.2 KitKat (I might have to upgrade, if it actually could let me, didn't upgrade quite a while).

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Apps, select YouTube, then Clear Cache/Clear Data. Does that help?

I have the same issue. I tried removing cache and data. It didn't make any difference

Welcome to Android Central! If YouTube came preinstalled on the phone, see if the problem persists in Safe Mode.
