So I found today that there is a delay of audio between the gamepad and TV. I did not change any settings on either device that would case this to happen, and I've tried changing some settings anyway and trying other HDMI cables. None of this works.

Look for a "game mode" on your TV. Disable any processing such as noise reduction, motion smoothing or dynamic constrast. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do if various settings don't exist on your tv.

This might be normal. The signal to the gamepad needs to be encoded on the Wii U and decoded on the gamepad which will add some latency, it's unavoidable.

I don't think that's the case, it's way too disruptive and different for me to not have noticed. For example, before I could play VC games fine but now it's like I hear in double.
Turn the gamepad volume down is my suggestion. You don't really need gamepad audio if you are playing on the TV.
I've also noticed the latency before, but I generally just turned the gamepad down.

There should be a slight latency for stereo effect when using the gamepad and tv together but not noticeable.

Seems others have this "fault" appear, could be another case of dying hardware like the recently discovered eMMc problem. Could possibly look at updating the gamepad fw but I'm clutching there!
