I'm using Ubuntu Dapper on my laptop with kernel 2.6.15-27-k7. There's a problem when playing DVD's or video files with the lip-sync. The audio is 200-400 ms ahead of the video. I've googled for answers but just can't seem to find any. This wasn't a problem before I installed Dapper, but I don't want to uninstall it because of one annoying little problem.
I know it's the computer and not the files because I've seem them played on Windows machines with full lip-sync. Has anyone experienced any problem like this, or should it be reported to Ubuntu as a bug?
Its an nforce3 audio chip (0000:00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce3 Audio (rev a2))
Thanks all,
Martin

What player are you using (mplayer, Totem-Xine etc ?)
What is the configuration of your sound system, are you using ESD ? (although usually that would cause the audio to be behind the video)
If you are using Mplayer then I have found this effect can be reduced somewhat using different video outputs (xv, gl2 etc) also I think there is a keypress that affects the sync between audio and video (can't remember what it is, not that it would help anyway because you would have to do this manually each time you played something)
Never had this problem with Totem/Xine
