Need Help, music and graphics not together

Tim,

There's a PLAYBACK OFFSET in the TOOLS section.

See if that will correct the situation.....if not then try adjusting the hardware accellerator. To do this:

1-Click START, RUN, type in DXDIAG and click OK.

2- When the pages are loaded, click on the SOUND 1 tab.

3-In the DIRECTX FEATURES block, move the slider under STANDARD ACCELLERATION left to the halfway point.

If that improves it, but still not entirely in sync, or doesn't improve it at all, go back in and move the slider further to the left.

If no change at all you can always move the slider back where it started.

If neither of the above cures the situation, there's something else wrong.

I tried the Playback Offset first, it's off as much as 10 to 15 sec sometimes so thats not helping. I tried your second suggestion, and I thought it worked but only for the first three songs I played, then started doing it again on the forth.

I'v also found that it does it even if you are playing the same song over and over.

Make sure the laptop is plugged in to A/C. It will do that if you run on batteries.

Ok I have more news, I've been playing with it this morn and I found out that if I open hoster the song will not play right but if I change the settings "DIRECTX FEATURES" as George suggested it will fix the prob and the song will play normaly.

But if I close hoster I have to chage the setting again to make it play right. Also it doesn't seem to matter if I move the ACCELLERATION up or down. Just chaging it fixes the prob as long as hoster doesn't close. Or atleast it seem to work, duno how it would do over a long period of time "like during a show".

Hope this helps.

P.S. I do have it on plugged in to a/c, figured that might be the prob last night lol, no help

When you make the changes are you clicking on save all information after you make the changes?

Nope I haven't been saveing it. I did the first time but it asked where I wanted to save it so I just canceled it.

Just click on the save all information. It will take you to a default location and save it where ever it says. Then you shouldn't have any proplems. You won't have to change it again.
