Audio Offset Manager: Evolved

Kodi's missing lipsync tool

Description

Adjust Kodi's audio offset during playback the way you always have. Audio Offset Manager: Evolved remembers the value for that stream's HDR type and audio format, with optional finer splits by frame rate, spatial audio format, channel count, and audio output device, then re-applies it automatically on every matching playback. Includes seek-back after adjustments, playback notifications, and a management view of everything it has learned.

News

v1.3.0 (2026-08-06) - Stored offsets are backed up automatically and restored if the file is ever damaged - The offset saved notification shows the value it replaced - Stored offsets can be copied to the current audio output from Manage stored offsets - Settings help text now says where an option depends on what your Kodi build reports - Fixed: an adjustment made just as the stream changed could be saved to the wrong profile - Fixed: a codec switch could briefly follow the wrong output device when PCM and passthrough use different ones - Fixed: re-teaching a value deleted moments earlier did not trigger the seek-back replay v1.2.0 (2026-08-03) - Distinct output device offsets: optional toggle that keys offsets by Kodi's configured audio output device, so a soundbar and a pair of headphones can each keep their own value. Off by default - An output device change during playback is picked up within a second and the matching offset is applied - The management view groups by output device, then HDR type, and skips a level when it holds only one entry - Device offsets belong to the machine that learned them and do not transfer to another one; every other offset still does - Stored offsets upgrade to a new file format on first save. Version 1.1.0 and earlier can still read the file but will not add to it
