Colossus SPDIF Audio Sync Issues?
After a couple months of meticulous system rebuilding and testing, I finally have my colossus up enough to put into put into every day service. One of the first problems I noticed after a couple days uptime is an intermittent audio sync issue.
Symptoms: Problem is intermittent (probably occurs 10-25% of the time). What happens is the sound leads the video by about 1 second. When there is a problem, it starts immediately and holds through the entire recording (it does not slowly drift). Sometimes I can stop the recording and restart it and it will resolve, sometimes not. When not, it appears a power cycle is necessary (either power off or S3 sleep) to get it back to normal (need to investigate further). The problem happens with both live and recorded TV, so I do have recordings that demonstrate this issue (this is not a playback problem, definitely something at the source). I know with the HDPVR there were similar issues as evidenced by release notes in some of the driver releases. These notes specifically, I believe, referenced sync issues with FiOS and Dish. Coincidentally, I have FiOS. Is this the same problem? System Details: Win7 32 bit Firewire tuning FiOS Motorola QIP6200-2 Colossus over Component and TosLink audio Latest SageTV Beta (7.1.5 I think?) Latest Colossus driver from Hauppage's site (not the one on the CD) Microsoft DTV audio and video codecs EVR renderer EDIT: Never mind for now, I see new Colossus drivers have been released (late last night?). I'll try those and see if the problem persists... Last edited by texneus; 04-22-2011 at 11:02 AM. |

Did the new drivers fix your problem?

It seems to have resolved the issue described (out of sync immediately), but unknown to me at the time I wrote this there is a second problem that causes the audio to drift when using SPDIF which may be mixed into the symptoms I reported. That problem HAS NOT been resolved. A number of other people reported the same issue in the main Colossus thread.
