A typical video file consists of two tracks: video and audio. If these two elements are not properly synchronized, video processing errors, or video player malfunctions, there may be delays in synchronous playback of audio and video components.
Instructions
Step 1
The first reason the sound can lag behind the video track is usually because the copy of the movie was not recorded correctly. If the sound lags behind only when playing a specific video, but all other video files are played normally on your computer, it is likely that the problem lies in this particular file. Try downloading another copy of this video from the Internet, in which the audio and video will be correctly synchronized.
Step 2
The delay in video audio playback may be caused by insufficient power in your equipment. This means that the computer or its operating system cannot handle the video recording, which causes some delays - the video quality is too high for your device. To try to eliminate this problem, try using a different playback program or download the same video, but with a lower quality. You can also try playing the video file on another computer.
Step 3
The delayed audio in the video file may be caused by incorrect operation of the image processing software. To fix the problem, try uninstalling the current version of third-party codecs installed on your system. To do this, go to "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Uninstall Programs" and delete the corresponding menu item. Then go to the website to download the codecs and download or install them.
Step 4
It is likely that a malfunctioning hard drive may be the cause of video playback problems. Go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager - Disk Controllers. In the proposed list, select the name of your disk and go to the "Policy" tab, where check the box next to "Enable increased performance". Reboot the system and try to play your video file again.
