Hi everyone!

So basically i have have a problem with sound latency and its more than a slight one, the person on the screen will say a word with there mouth and the sound wont come out until they start or are halfway through their next word. Just to give you an idea of how long it is

as for the PC i have a sound blaster z with the latest drivers and and asus crosshair v forula Z motherboard also with the latest drivers.

Now what i might think the problem is the lack of direct input or some mode like that on my receiver. So i think its the receiver's fault because it's actually a blu ray player that came with speakers, so it can act like a receiver, (it has an "optical in" on the back so it literally function as only a receiver right now, not a DVD player) but obviously it's not a full blown receiver so im not sure whether its trying to do some encoding of its own and causing latency or something to that effect.

So if anyone has any fixes that don't require me to buy a new receiver that would be great!

But im willing to get this if you guys think this will fix my problem:

Thanks a lot!
 
Check the menu of the home theater in a box you have and see if there is a lip sync adjustment. If you get a receiver be aware that it might not work with the speakers that came with the HTiB because the sub amp may not be in the sub. The receiver will not have a sub amp in it as they expect you to use a self powered sub. Also make sure it has the lip sync adjustment in case.

No luck on the lip sync setting or anything like that. Thanks for making me aware, and yes unfortunately i see the sub does not have any external power so that wouldn't be compatible. So now id be looking into full systems, how do either of these look?
