Sound and video poor synchronisation

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

When I play games or run a Drector movie etc. the video does not keep up with
the sound; even on a short clip it can be several seconds behind.

GeForce FX 5200 128 Meg and 5.1 sound; XP Pro /SP2

It's quite annoying and if htere's a fix I qwould like to know....

TIA

Start, Run..., "DxDiag.exe"

Report any problems noted. Update to DX9.0c if you haven't already.
List of relevant hardware in the machine.
Latest hardware and software updates applied?

Appears to be a woefully under powered PC for the purpose given the
amount of stuff usually running in the background.

Athlon 64 3000+ (overclocked) with 1 Gig Ram is not what I would call a
"woefully underpowered" PC

Thanks - good advice; but DxDiag reports no problems and Dx is a 9.0c

Is overclocking the problem?

P.S. I have no experience in that.

Good thought, but no. It gives problems without o/c also. Thanks

Thats more like it compared to what one would read into the original
listing of specs. Does DXdiag give any indication of problems?
