possible reason for out of sync

[marklwood]

I was playing around with my test computer at tonight's show and had a song that jumped sync. I was using my laptop with Vista that I use for testing. I was purposely trying to stress it by leaving on all the services that I usually turn off. Everything was going great. In the middle of a song, the words got out of sync. What I had just done prior to that was turn on the wireless. It found the internet connection and updated the time. Apparently my computer time was off by a couple of seconds and the audio sync followed the computer time. The video was unaffected. I changed the time during a song and got the out of sync again. Then I changed the time before starting a song and then turned on the wireless. When it found a connection, sure enough, BAM out of sync. I then changed the time prior to starting a song, but unchecked the auto synchronize for the clock. Then started the song, turned on the wireless, and it was unaffected.

Just thought this might help someone in the future and wanted to document it. I think I will add to my list of initial setup on a new machine to turn off the auto sync for the clock.
