The longer you play the song...the worse the lag gets. By the time you finish singing the song, you are off by like 5 "pages" of lyrics.
Great detail Jackie! Congrats on that point.

Hoster is a PLAYER. What you describe here FIRST makes me believe the actual CDG lyrics from the disc are out of sync with the music.

All the other things you have tried, updating Windows using CUSTOM (not Express), and downloading the latest Dell Graphics drivers are the other causes of this.

If you think about your later statements that changing the RF converter made a change in the delay, this can only be a fixed offset, not a variable offset as you describe above. If it were variable, the RF converter would have to be saving the signal somewhere in a delay memory and that's just not happening.

Now you know why we build, certify and sell CDG computers. We solve all the headaches before we ship to you. Just today, we discovered a new problem we had never seen before with a difference of almost 4:1 slower importing CDG disc tracks on one laptop versus another. Go figure! We told our customer in Hawaii we can't ship yet, and he's being very patient, knowing it will be right when we ship.
