ACPI setting

[alaskatazdvl]

I started on -.25 and had to keep adjusting to get my songs on track. I did not try the songs you suggested yet. but I will look at the thread you suggested.

Here is the link to the thread Billyo is referring to

I would also recommend you look into a system clean up program.
There is a free one called SystemCare or if you want a profession type that will do a thorough, safe job try System Mechanic 9 for $49 (installs on 3 computers).

ok i ran a show last night and my timing issue is much better with the offset set at -1.25. however now it will skip every once and awhile. I am still trying to figure out how to revert the device manager setting that I had gone through when trying to change my bios settings. I had started going through the steps that is recommended for lyrics sweeping to slow. Since I made that change my processor speed is to slow. Any ideas on how I get it back to original.

i think audio skipping was one of the bugs in the earlier 4.11 version, you might wanna download the newer version, from what i read they've been fixed, did you change the virtual memory setting to 3055/4096 ? or you can do a system restore to revert you back to the way it was and re-install 4.11. and also do you have hoster 3.4 intalled, if not if i were you i'll install it for a back-up, make sure you save the installation and then run it.

Do the same steps up to "Update Drive" and click on "Rollback Driver" instead. That will re-install the original driver that you changed. I don't think that changed your processor speed, but do another System Information afterwards and post it here. My guess is the speed will be the same.

Playback offset may be fine for minor changes but the best method if the audio is out of sync is to change the hardware accelleration setting. It's a more permanent fix(if that's the problem)

Click START

Click RUN

Type DXDIAG, O.K

At the top of the page, click on SOUND 1

About the middle of the page there's a HARDWARE ACCELLERATION slider.

Move it two clicks to the left, and exit.

No harm done if it doesn't solve the problem, you can easily put it back.

OK, here goes. Yes I changed the virutal memory settings. As far as the "Rollback" option on the driver it is not available. I already had tried to do that. Here is the latest on my system information.

I have downloaded the latest update and am having the skipping issue. I will try the acceleration suggestion tomorrow. I dont' have my external hard drive with me at the moment. Thanks again for all the suggestions. I really just want to get this fixed.

After you try the hardware acceleration, if that doesn't do the trick, try going here http://www.blackviper.com/ and start trimming your system down. I would suggest going with the "Tweaked" list.

Also you could post your task manager list of running processes and we can see if we can help you trim that down too. Hit alt+ctrl+del and select Start Task Manager to see the list of running processes.
