Audio sync problem and video display problem on MBP using Home theatre/LCD

**thinktwice** · April 5th, 2009, 08:05 PM

I have a 2nd gen 17 MBP (ver before current) running Boxee Alpha (problem existed on pervious ver as well) connected to a Sharp Aquos via DVI to HDMI connector. Audio goes through a mini to TOSLINK optical adapter to a Pioneer Home theater rig.

First problem is Getting the thing to display right. Currently I close MBP, then connect DVI to HDMI cable and press a key on a external keyboard connected vie USB. (READ Royal PITA but workable)

Second problem is that when I start to watch something via HULU, NETFLIX or TED channel, the video and audio are all out of sync. I know there is the audio offset setting but this is another major PITA as you have to adjust then view, adjust then view. Seemingly endlessly. This seems like a very unwieldy process and I am relying on the collective hive mind of you guys to point whatever flaw I hopefully have in my process and/or rig.

HELP!!!

UPDATE: The problem does not occur with the same rig setup running the NETFLIX VOA service via Safari

Can you try upgrading to the latest version 5591 ..see if this helps ..regarding the issue of sitting right ..you can try to use the video calibration settings under settings>Appearance>Screen>Video Calibration to line up the screen..
