Hi!
I have recently bought a new TV (Pioneer 5080XA). Because of this I am now running at 1080p24 to suit all my x264/h264 material. Before I have used the integrated DVI port to output both video and audio to my old TV, but since I now want to connect the audio to my stereo I use the DVI port on my new Nvidia card for video and the green speaker port on the motherboard for audio (connected to my stereo). Since I started using this setup I have been getting problems with audio and video falling out of sync in most x264/h264 videos. Some video files are worse than others. Here are the codecs I use:
H264: CoreAVC
Mpeg2: ffdshow
Audio decoder: Nvidia audio decoder
Audio renderer: Reclock
Video renderer: VMR9
If I play the files in Media Player Classic the sync is fine, although I get a bit of what looks like tearing now and then. If I play the video in Mediaportal windowed mode the sync is also fine: hence, it's Mediaportal fullscreen mode that's causing me problems. I have tried switching audio codec (ffdshow, MPA, AC3) and audio renderer (Realtek HD Audio output), but with no result. I have checked mediaportal with graphedit in windowed mode to make sure it's using the right codecs, and it is. I would like to check the same thing in fullscreen mode, but I don't think it's possible to switch to graphedit when in fullscreen mode, without mediaportal going windowed?
Does anyone recognize this, is it common to get problems with audio-video sync when switching from HDMI-out for audio to the regular speaker port?
I'm seriously thinking about nuking my whole system partition and installing Vista instead of XP, then I could use EVR as renderer (EVR in XP produces tearing for me) which apparently would provide more fluid motion among other things. Maybe my sound issues would take care of themselves in the process.
