This one is not the 5.1.2, they are selling the 5.1 version in p place. Even the model number say M51a-H6
It's finally out on Amazon today. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TV6GJF7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_P7179F836HZMY67G4CNC
There is an amazon link with 2 in stock: https://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-5-1-2-Theater-Sound-Dolby/dp/B08TV6GJF7/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=vizio+5.1.2+h6&qid=1622878754&sr=8-1
It's a new product link, all questions on the page are from 2021, model number is listed as "Item model number M51a-H6"
However, this is sold by a third party which raises a red flag, possibly an older model they're passing off as the new one.
Teach me the ways, please. I’m currently returning my horrendously overpriced Vizio setup that can’t even seem to keep the subwoofer paired to the sound bar.
I'd be flattered, but rtings.com is an excellent source! I ended up buying a soundbar from Vizio at a great price VIZIO M-Series 5.1.2 Premium Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Bluetooth, Wireless Subwoofer, Voice Assistant Compatible, Includes Remote Control - M512a-H6
Hmm not sure then, don't have any lag on mine. I even play the odd rythm game from time to time. I've got a VIZIO soundbar for reference:

I'd say just make sure theres no extra audio EQ/settings going on in your external speaker setup. You could also play around with the "AV Sync Adjustment" setting on the TV.
in case it helps anybody else in this space...
i finally got some 4k surround sound movies to play properly with Vizio M512a-H6 surround sound speaker bar bundle, after shifting from playing directly within plex app to vlc app pulling from my plex servers DNLA/uPnP service... this audio unit supports everything dolby including atmos and dts-x.
digital audio output to speakers via hdmi "ARC" (audio return channel) and eARC (enhanced) has a lot of configuration ambiguity and compatibility snags... hard to find answers in all the noise out there... the x3000i current firmware is v00.02.00.07_ww and its ARC settings include LPCM, RAW & RAW+ modes... PCM - pulse code modulation means signal is decoded before sending to speakers which requires some cpu (at the projector in this case) but can increase downstream compatibility... RAW means sending the digital audio directly without touching it... i can't find any mention yet of what RAW+ actually means.
bottom line: i'm finally hearing dramatic 5.1 surround sound with projector in RAW mode outputting to speaker bar over proper high speed hdmi cable (Cable Matters 48Gbps Ultra HD 8K) connected to ARC hdmi port on projector and eARC port on speaker bar, with speaker bar in HDMI-eARC input mode
pulled trigger on Vizio 5.1.2 M-Series for $481... RTINGS.com has a fresh 2022 under $500 roundup... i got sucked into the feature/price creep... still worried the spacial sound will be messed up ... but at least these do a "Front Surround" mode with satellites positioned in front... this is clearly intended to have all speakers sitting in a front TV centered arrangement... BUT i'm curious to see how bad it is with soundbar in back since that's a nice straight shot for the hdmi eARC from projector on high behind couch... with subwoofer in front wirelessly and satellites hanging off that up front as well, feels like a pretty ideal cable arrangement for me.
u/valy128 and anyone really, i'm curious to hear any experience with these soundbars behind sitting position versus in front under TV most commonly depicted.
