Hi guys. For some reason, my computers audio lags. For example, if I press play on a YouTube video, the video plays, then the audio starts to play from half a second to an entire second after I press play.

Audio usually takes longer to start if I'm running multiple programs, nevertheless, it is always annoying. It happens on every program.

Specs:
OS: Windows XP SP2 x86
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250 @ 3.0Ghz
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS G86
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Kingston RAM, Dual channel
Motherboard: ASUS M4N68T-M-LE-V2
HDD: Maxtor 120GB Drive
Sound Card: VIA High Definition Audio

Please help!

Bump after 20 mins? Could that be the fastest bump ever? :p

Has this started happening recently? Have any changes been made since is started happening?

I upgraded the whole thing nearly. Before I did that, as far as I remember it was fine, unless it wasn't and I just noticed it now. I upgraded from an Athlon 64 to the current, the GPU was the same, the RAM was DDR 1gb before, the motherboard was different(can't remember it atall) the OS was the same. I have no idea about the sound card though

PS. Lol, i know, fast bump. :D
Thanks for replying Marsman
 
Also, I changed it about 6 months(?) ago, it cocked up, then 4 months after that, I unplugged the DVD drive, that seemed to be what was killing it, since it then started up. The problem also gets worse when (and after) I go on games. It gets up to 1-1.5 seconds lag.

Are you saying that unplugging the DVD drive solved the problem? Was that temporary?

It hasn't got anything to do with that, its just that when the DVD drive is plugged in, the computer comes up with an error and can't startup:confused:, this happened after I upgraded CPU, etc, I mentioned this to explain when I upgraded. IDK, maybe the hard drive is too full. The startup of the machine after logging on is quite slow for a dual core 3ghz PC before it is actually "useable".

On an Internet Browser, it isn't as bad, when playing a game, it can be terrible:eek:.
