video and sound out of sync?

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

My two cents. Once I had this problem with Windows Media Player 10. I
adjusted my connection speed to a lower speed setting (connection speed is
in 'Options > Performance' tab) and it corrected the problem. Also, in WMP
10, try adjusting the 'Video Acceleration Settings' (slider is in
Performance > Advanced tab), specifically, 'Drop frames to keep AV in sync'
must be checked. Keep adjusting the slider under Digital video (close WMP 10
after each adjustment).
