Sound not in sync

We are capturing video into Final Cut Express HD (upgraded from FC Express). It is capturing the video and sound but the sound is not in sync. This is the note that pops up in our program.
The audio sample rate of one or more of your capture media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape.
FYI, WE ARE A DVCAM ON FINAL CUT EXPRESS HD.
Thank you for your help.

OK. Just did more research and may have found a fix to help you--it seems to have helped me.
My video camera use 12 bit audio (found on the camera menu which shows on the camera viewscreen after pushing the menu button). FCE seems to default to 16 bit audio. You can find these settings in the Easy Setup part of the FCE main menu tab. All the listed choices were 48khz (which corresponds to 16bit), but after checking the box for 'Show All' more options were available, including a DV 32 FireWire option that works with 12 bit audio and worked beautifully for me. (Don't know why these choices weren't immediately available, would have saved me hours as I tried all visible choices.) And I see nowhere that tells you about the correllation between 12/32 and 16/48 settings.
I recaptured video from my camera using the new settings and now things seem in sync.
Still disappointed that this issue isn't even mentioned in the FCE manual that I could find, and the help/troubleshooting topics on most boards shed little light, too.
Hope this helps you! Good luck.

Flashvideo stuttering, sound not in sync with video

Can't help it: flashvideos are stuttering and the sound is not in sync with the video as the video/picture always is like a second late to the sound.
Tried Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, even with older flashplayer-versions than 11.5.502.110 as it is now, cleared chache, enabled and disabled hardware acceleration, tested different cache memory size (flashplayer internal settings), with or without camera and microphone allowance, every time I get the same results in a choppy / stuttering video and no sync in picture / sound.
My System is as followed:
MacBook Pro early 2008
MacBookPro4,1
Intel Core 2 Duo
2,5 GHz
L2-Cache:    6 MB
RAM:    4 GB
Bus:    800 MHz
with a GeForce 8600M GT
PCIe-Bus
VRAM 512 MB
Internet-connection via cable at least with 5 Mbit/sec up to mostly around 20 Mbit/sec and a 802.11n WLAN (tried LAN cable too, same effect)
My OSX is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I want to stick with that one, I keep the browsers and the flashplugin always up to date and I am not using a lot of background programs when watching, just one firewall and the usual system processes as I can see in the activity monitor, not much of percentage in processor usage, maybe 2 to 5 in percent all together, talking only of the background usage.
The core / processor usage, when a flashmovie is running, is around 80 to 90 percent,
there is an amount of 45 or so GB harddrive space empty and
somewhat of 1,8 GB of RAM not in use.
The connection-quality as shown in, say the "nfl game pass" window is very good up to max.
Sometimes, when the internet isn't that fast and the connection drops, the picture gets worse and the sound too, but that occurs not very often, maybe once a day and mostly when starting a video. After 10 seconds or so the quality of the picture and sound is high like brilliant HD, cannot complain about that, but the stuttering and out of sync sound remains.
I watch the flash videos at internal mac-book-pro monitor 1440x900 fullscreen, sometimes not fullscreen,
tried an external LCD Sony Bravia Full HD Monitor via DVI to HDMI adapter too
and I am getting always, with any kind of configuration, the same results in stuttering video with sound out of sync.
Did already read faq's and forums and it seems that this is an issue for a long time with very different computer-setups and browsers in various versions of the flash-player. Couldn't find anything in accordance, like same graphic cards or same internetconnections, browsers or else, yet, so it comes down to the flash player.
The issue with the stuttering video and no sync in sound and video occurs at any time of the day with different streams, live, archived - I also tried changing the mac-system-flashplayer settings in different combinations with no change at all: stuttering video, no sync sound.
If there is any information else that you need, please let me know,
I hope you can help as this stuttering and async is getting quite annoying by now...
greez anyway, out of vienna, austria
thanx,
manfred

Hi Manfred,
When you have the high cpu, is hardware acceleration enabled? You mentioned this occurs with all releases that you've tested, does this include 10.3 on Firefox?

New Insignia NS-L55X-10A sound not in sync with surround sound

My new Insingina NS L55X 10A was delivered this morning, replacing a 7 year old 52" Hitachi. Of course they just swapped the TV's, plugged it up and attached the cable coax and made sure it would turn on. I didn't notice until they left, but the sound is out of sync with my surround system. I didn't have this problem with the Hitachi. I spent several hours, replacing all the cables with HDMI, and everything is still the same. Is this a common problem and is there an easy fix? What am I overlooking? Thanks for any replies.

I misread your original post I guess. I thought you were talking about the lipsync being off from the sound when watching tv or a movie.
Yes it is possible for there to be a slight delay when using a receiver and the internal speakers of the tv. Normally its not too noticable but it can happen. Most people don't watch tv with both sets of speakers on, you either listen to the tv speakers or the receiver not both. I have owned several home theatre systems and sometimes there is a delay from one system to other. Normally not very much though.
Out of curiosity can I ask you why you would watch tv with both on? The correct thing to do would be turn your tv all the way down when using an amplified system or better yet disable the internal speakers of the tv if your using a surround sound system.
This may be exagerated to some extent with the new systems utilizing HDMI connections and advanced processing features. One device is processing the signal at a different rate than the other one so you could in fact get some sort of reverb effect by using both. The delay is going to be in miliseconds though. Or it is possible that the surround sound receiver is utilizing some sort of built in delay to some of the speakers. Where as the tv would not employ any delay at all. It could also have something to do with how the devices are connected or switched. One set up could possibly have less delay than the other.

Sound not in sync with video

I am having a new problem when i watch a movie or tv show in itunes. the sound will suddenly skip a few times and then not match the video. I have to pause wait a second to play again, then 15 seconds later it happens again. i have the newest version of itunes installed. i'm not sure if it's my computer or itunes doing this. my music also skips like the sound in the videos, but it's not as much of an issue, just very annoying. this started a few days ago.

I have a similar problem where I view an Mp4 in VLC and the sound sync is fine but view it in Itunes or on my Apple TV and there are voice sync issues.
Any help out there?

Sound not in sync with video on Apple TV

On some movies synced from iTunes to Apple TV, the sound is out of sync with the video. I sync from a Powerbook G4 with an attached FW 800 external drive storing the movies. Any ideas on what amy be causing this?

I downloaded from iTunes. Yes, I have seen that same issue with other movies I have converted with a 3rd party app. I did not expect to see it with iTunes downloads. Other movies from iTunes convert fine on ATV.

Nokia 6131 video not in sync with sound

After a year of working just fine, my Nokia 6131 video picture is not in sync with the sound when I play it back on the phone or when I download it to my pc to view.
At first the problem was only when I played it back on the phone, but was fine on the pc. Now it's distorted on both.
The video picture seems to be on fast forward but the sound runs smoothly. My video's are always less than five mins long.
Please can anyone help me to resolve this frustrating problem?
Katie Girl
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hey KatieGirl, i too had the same problem with my old nokia 6288. have you tried turning off your phone and restarting it, this usually helps in alleviating choppy video playback. if this is still resulting in **bleep** playback on your phone and pc, then i would suggest searching for a software update via Nokia Software Updater, if there is no update, then i would suggest re-flashing your phone with the same version firmware again. p.s. remember to backup all your data before flashing your phone with firmware.
failing all this, then i would suggest taking your phone to your nearest Nokia Care Centre or authorised service repair centre, as there may be a fault with your phone hardware itself.
hope this helps.

HT3209 sound and picture not in sync

when i play a downloaded movie, the sound is not in sync with the scene. why is this happening and how do i fix it? i have tried shutting down and restarting my computer but that doesnt help

Try (free) Quicktime Broadcaster and see if it improves the sync. Is it out of sync from the first second or after a long period of time?

Mp3 and TimerEvent not in sync

Last night a buddy of mine who I make music with was asking
me if I could get objects to move in flash in sync with the sounds.
I said I might be able to, and figured it would be good to load an
mp3, a simple hihat called hihat.mp3. My idea is to set up a
TimerEvent that calls a function 'hitHiHat()' every 250
milliseconds. Problem is, when I run the program, the sound of the
mp3 is not in sync. I thought this might be a bad idea because the
TImerEvent might not be very accurate, but I remember reading
somewhere that the TimerEvent is VERY accurate. If it's not, I
definitely can't do what I'm trying to do, because the idea is to
have multiple instruments playing. If it's not the TimerEvent, I
thought that maybe it's the _sound.play() function that is lagging,
or that maybe there is a conflict with the mp3 already playing when
the hitHiHat function is called. Please let me know if I could do
something to make this program have a bit more rhythm, or if it's
just a bad idea altogether (code below). THANKS!

private function hitHiHat(event:TimerEvent):void {
if (needsToPlay == true) {
soundChan = _sound.play();
needsToPlay = false;
soundChan.stop();
soundChan = _sound.play();

the timer function (along with setInterval and every other
loop in flash) is inaccurate and very much dependent on local
system speed. in short, there is no loop in flash suitable for
synch'g sound and anything else. the ear it too sensitive to even
small mis-timings.
you can however, create a self-correcting loop based on
getTimer() (which is as accurate as the local system clock) which
can maintain a small error tolerance. even this, however, may not
be satisfactory for your purposes and you may need to synch sound
and animation in a flv.

The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items 2014

the iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items

Hello 7283,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with syncing your iPhone. It sounds like you computer is not authorized for some of the purchases on your iPhone.
I am not sure if you have authorized your computer, but I recommend trying that first. If you have purchases from multiple Apple IDs on your iPhone, you will need to authorize all the Apple IDs used to make purchases. Use these steps:
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

If you have already authorized your computer, I recommend reviewing the following article for additional assistance:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Video and audio not in sync

Anybody else experiencing video & audio not in sync since upgrading to Lion? I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch, Early 2011 with
AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB graphics. I mostly stream You Tube, Netflix, & news videos and occasionally watch movies I have in iTunes or on DVD, and since upgrading, I've seen out of sync video and audio in every one of these situations. Sometimes it starts out OK and then slowly deteriorates. Other times it just starts out that way and stays that way. Happens with all browsers as well as iTunes and DVD Player. Tried a few Google searches but haven't come across any postings reporting this with Lion, so I thought I would try here. Thanks for any confirmations and/or pointers to a solution if there is one.

Ahh...boom. I have it too. Forgot it was even there. I had it turned off back when running Snow Leopard since it was glitchy. Apparenty, I somehow reenabled it and wasn't even aware it was on since its volume was turned down. After disabling it, all video & audio appears to be in sync.
boom...the sound you'll hear as I nuke it from my system.
Thanks efrancis76 for figuring this out. Much appreciated!

Video and audio not in sync (ALSA underrun occurred)

Hi, after a recent system upgrade (upgrade log here http://pastebin.com/1gRwexFr), video and sound are not in sync anymore. The problem occurs in mplayer instantly, and in XBMC after a while (the audio is slowly getting out of sync). The error message I get continuously in XBMC is "ALSA lib pcm.c:7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred". The error I get in mplayer is "[ac3 @ 0xf46b40]frame sync error" I did another system upgrade and the problem persists. I'm using Terratec Aureon 7.1 external sound card and linux 3.3.3-1-ARCH. I'm not using pulseaudio, just alsa.
EDIT: I downgraded (sudo pacman -U linux-3.2.13-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz linux-headers-3.2.13-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz linux-api-headers-3.1.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz dbus-1.4.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz dbus-core-1.4.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz glibc-2.15-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) and the problem seems to be gone. I'm suspecting the kernel upgrade broke it..

See what buffer size you end up with. Start mplayer, and run:
