Audio Video Mismatch

Hi, I just purchased a new TF700 and have been hoping like crazy, that it does not have any of the issues some people have been running into, again with another top of the line Asus tablet. So far there are no blemishes on the screen or case, the screen fitment seems pretty good and there is no creeking of flexing when pinching or pressing on the screen. The light bleed is not crazy bad. The GPS and wifi work great. It prompted me for an OTA update shortly after turning it on, and streaming video while listening via my S10 bluetooth headset, does not cause network drop. I was just about to proclaim it as near perfect, and then I ran into this. When streaming archive video from an internet network the audio and video don't match. I can pull it up on a Galaxy SII and SIII phone running ICS on the same wifi network and it works fine. But every time I stream any of the videos from there, it is never in sync. And not all video streaming is like this. Youtube from either the app or website are in sync. And so are videos from both the Hulu and Netflix apps. I watch videos from this internet network nearly every day, and have to try to get this figured out. Does anyone have suggestions or information pertaining to this issue? Is it related to this particular processor?
Oh yeah, and it does it when using the internal speaker only too, no headset whatsoever.
Thanks,

I have more interesting details as of today. I work with someone who has an Asus tf300 tablet and I tested it today. When connected to the same wifi network, and streaming the same video from an online network, the sound and video were out of sync again on my tf700, however the tf300 was dead on. Is my only option to just exchange it and hope the next one is better? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,

Bluetooth lag has been addressed here before and is likely the root of your issue. Use the search feature to do some investigative work and you'll get to the bottom of it. Here's a good thread to start at:

Ok thanks for the response Chief Geek, but in my case it isn't Bluetooth related, because it does it when no headset is attached, right through the factory installed speaker.

Gotcha. I stream a ton of different media from my home server to devices, to my TV via google tvbox, and to browsers outside of my network. The issue you are getting can be adjusted inside some video players by a time delay settings if it is consistant enough. If not, try playing with different file/container type comos and also different players can make a difference. Its a real PITA and happens on all my devices occasionally, even my 8 core laptop.

Yes, unfortunately this happens from within a browser, and I have tried several. I know there are no such adjustments from them. The thing that is annoying is that it happens with the Infinity every time I try it, and other Android phones and tablets seem to work fine. I just tried one of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets, and it also works good.
I tried Asus support today and they just had me reset the device and see if that would fix it. It didn't. I think the fix for me is going to be to return it and get the Note 10.1.

NETFLIX on Omni 4.4.2-20140207-1805

Hi,
Some of you may remember me from my "Android Kit Kat 4.4.2 on Motorola Xoom' thread. My Xoom WI-FI now has the latest ROM
4.4.2-20140207-1805+0100-wingray-HOMADE. I just loaded this version about 45 minutes ago. Earlier today I loaded the Netflix Android App
from the Google Play store. I started to play an episode of the Netflix Series House of cards. When the episode started the subtitles (captions) were enabled. So I touched the little icon on the screen and I chose no captions. Once I did that the program continued to play without any sound what so ever. So, I tried another program. I chose a Movie that I had never watched on any TV, Blu-ray player or other device.
The same phenomena occurred. Movie played with subtitles on, I turn them off and the sound stops playing. Yes, I even plugged in Headphones.
This Phenomena does not occur when i play movies through my FIREFOX browser on my PC nor does it occur on my TV or Blu-ray player.
So, I called NETFLIX tech Support. They had me try several things (like use another WIFI network in this case the WIFI hotspot on my phone) to see if the problem was related to my router.
Also, on my WIFI XOOM Tablet the playback of netflix Streaming freezes and the buffering circle spins. This may be also related to issues with the ROM and the Netflix Android app. I do have a Wireless N network and I am sitting in the room where the Router is.
None of these problems occurred with the last GOOGLE approved ROM.
The Netflix tech found my thread from January. It is possible that NETFLIX techs will be posting to this forum. So, has anyone had any issues with NETFLIX using this ROM?
Thank you in advance

I have not experienced any netflix issues with this ROM. I even use it through chromecast. I've tried what you stated and did not experience the issue.

I can confirm the behavior experienced by bigfootmd. Netflix is very sensitive and will stop playing sound. If you exit netflix and restart, sound is back. In addition, the HDMI output freezes and becomes unuseable, independent of the sound problem.
I am running 4.4.2.20140215-1029+0100-wingray-HOMEMADE
Domunus: when you play through Chromecast, your feed goes directly to the Chromecast device and does not pass through your xoom. Your xoom is simply a remote control. This is probably why you do not see the problem. When I cast, I do not see the problem either.

Bluetooth sound delay on YouTube

Anyone know how to get rid of the annoying sound delay/out of sync Bluetooth when watching YouTube? Thanks!
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Sounds like what I have found in my car (& I think occasionally in my headphones)?
I connect via BT, switch to bluetooth mode in the car & then there is a delay of around 20 seconds before the music plays.
I'm on update B182, I'm guessing this has something to so with it.....

Same here

I am having a similar issue. It's not limited to youtube for me. Any video streaming service like Netflix, xfinity, youtube, HBO. All have a sync issue with sound coming first and then a delay of about 2 seconds with the video. It's hell annoying. I contacted customer care thinking that it is a hardware issue with my phone and got a replacement device. But even that has it. I am guessing it has to do something at the software side. If anyone finds any fix please share!

Not using my car much at the moment but been out in it on a few journeys today & not noticed any BT issue.
Not sure if this is related in any way but I'm now on update B190.

Cannot successfully Cast using this phone

Hi all, does anyone use this phone to cast to Chromecast? I cannot get this to successfully Cast to any of my four devices which are Android TV, Samsung TV and two Chromecasts. I've tried using VLC player and Plex to cast and the same thing happens with both, the TV screen goes blank you can see it's trying to do something, and after a few minutes of this it just disconnects and fails. Occasionally it will play about a minute of something and then just disconnect and fail, this is very frustrating. The weird thing is that casting YouTube works fine.
Can anyone with this phone confirm casting works or not for you? Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

casting fow.chromacst works perfect for my, chinese x2.pro

MiStick

So I got my mittens on a MiStick and its fine, except some of the games don't work, and I think its because the device is detected or functions as a touchscreen device. So, as I understand it, unless a game has controller integration it won't work? Crossy Road is stuck on the age screen at the beginning and no way to input.
If anyone can enlighten me that would be great.....can this be altered so the device functions as a normal Android TV device.

Can’t help you with your problem. Just wanted to say that I’m extremely disappointed with the mi tv stick. Often I can’t boot it up and have to pull the plug, also prime video is buffering very often... my Networkspeed is very good so this is not the problem. Also it freezes sometimes without any reason and losing connection to the remote. I hope they will fix the bugs in further updates.

Agreed that it is a bit laggy......however yesterday I managed to get Stadia working on it, and was playing Doom Eternal with no issues - however the Stadia homepage was not showing all of the content. So far I've had no issues with freezing etc, but we'll have to wait and see. I think Sabrina may be my next port of call.

Try to replace the USB cable. I had the same symptoms, so I replaced the cable. I
