Lyrics not in sync

[marklwood]

Is anyone still having a lyrics sync issue? I am just playing with this at home and giving a good scouring to my song lists using the new "hide in songbook" feature. In the edit songs screen, there is a pause when drawing the graphics. Then it redraws the graphics and it it that much out of sync(usually about 10 seconds). In the regular host screen, it is not as pronounced but still there(about 4 seconds). I have all custom updates for Windows and My hardware.

I have a 2.2 Intel Core 2 Duo w/3 gb ram
ATI Radeon HD 2400 pro
No programs installed except Hoster, Firefox, and Open Office.
Nothing unnecessary running in the background.

I was going to try an open source driver and see if that would make a difference. But first, I will hook it to a TV to see if that changes anything.
Then change out the display adapter if all else fails. I feel like it has got to be the video card and or driver if it is not a known Hoster issue.

I am having the same problem with mine. I just put hoster 4.1 in on a new laptop with the same specs as yours. In the manual under display they show you a way to change some driver around, and it works! but then started up after a couple songs later. whats goin on?

In the proccess of making Hoster 4.XX do all of the things that we (the customers) want it to do MTU had do some major rewriting of the program code. On top of this, Vista has been a real pain in the butt to work with. I don't run alot of different file formats or videos and Hoster 4.XX has always done a great job running my shows for weeks now (XP).

MTU is working hard to address these issues and I assure you they will get it.

MTU uses all of the lateset updates to assure tha Hoster runs as smooth as possible so get all of the recommened updates and see that your sytem is a clean as possible. This keeps Hoster running well.

Hang in there, these guys are busting a__ to get 4.XX running without a hitch. They'll get it.

First off your hum in the headphones jack means you do not have a good ground on the electrical circuit you are plugged into. Laptops are much more seceptible to this than desktop types. The power supply in laptops does not filter as well as desktop computers do. What you need is to get from Radio Shack or an electronics place is a ground loop interupt which will remove the hum.
As far as the external USB Soundblaster it sounds like you have set or some of the default settings in the EAX control software is causing this. Turn off all the effects set in this control and that should fix your sound through there.
I am guessing the new laptop is Vista? If so then yes you will have sync problems with the current release. However you have the option of using the 3.4 version that is included with 4.1 (file is in the Program Files\Hoster folder as Hoster34.exe) until the next free release comes out that will work with Vista.
I will tell you again that if you do not keep your computers up to date with Microsoft's Custom updates and this includes Internet Explorer 7 and Service Pack 3 (XP) or Service Pack 1 (Vista), then don't expect the MTU software to work correctly.
