Lyrics running several bars behind music

[George]

If this starts happening frequently, there are two possible solutions. I personally prefer option 2. I see it as a more permanent fix, as there is more latitude for adjustment in the more serious cases.

Option 1-Go into TOOLS, PLAYBACK OFFSET and adjust the audio into sync with the sweep. In your case you'd use the + scale.

Option 2-Click START, RUN, type in DXDIAG, click OK.

After DXDIAG opens, click the SOUND1 tab at the top of the page. You'll see a slider marked HARDEWARE SOUND ACCELLERATION LEVEL. Move that slider one click to the left. Close DXDIAG. Repeat as necessary, but in most cases moving one click to the left will suffice.

It may also be an anomally that won't hapen to you again and neither adjustment is necessary. Simply restarting the program or rebooting the pc may be all it needed. If you feel better about doing something to prevent it from happening again, that would be option 2 also, because if it is working right, option 1 would probably throw it out of sync.


Hope this answers your question,

George
