Lyrics out of sync with Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT

Did you try the DXDIAG and adjust sound acceleration to standard?
How much memory is on this video card?

[Aarrgee]

I've tried DXDIAG but it doesn't have anywhere to adjust sound acceleration. The video has 256 memory, it's one of Nvidia's latest video.

[Beavis]

did u update the firmware, even out of the box isnt up to date.

[Aarrgee]

I have all the latest updates from Dell. Nvidia doesn't offer any driver for this video. Maybe because it's on the motherboard of the laptop.

This is strange. Normally it would be all are lagging or all that the video would be a head. No sound tab in dxdiag? Look in your control panel for sound setting and see if there is a hardware acceleration adjustment. If so then lower that one notch and try again.

This may sound like a strange piece of advice, but that happened to me at the last show; words and lyrics not in sync, I noticed that the battery icon was shown in the toolbar down below. What had happened was the power supply wasn't working and the laptop was on battery power. Hoster doesn't take to well to battery power.

Had to replace the power adapter/supply. Luckily I had a back there that night.

Maybe a simple reboot & shut down any unnecessary programs that aren't needing to be used. My test computer developed some of the problems you described & a reboot was all that was needed.
