Has anyone experienced sound /vision syncronisation problems using GigaPocket?

Not me.
When specifically do you get this problem?
I have only watched TV and recorded TV with gigapocket, and it works great except for a crash error if I want to play a recording in Gigpocket Explorer. (I think this is a software conflict somewhere, because it worked when I first got the computer, before I started installing stuff... my solution at the moment is to use Windows MovieMaker 2 instead).

It occurs whenever I use GigaPocket to watch TV. It is very obvious and annoying.
It does not occur if you use Vio Media but I would prefer to use GigaPocket if possible.

Hmmmm..... I don't have an immediate solution, but here are a couple things to ponder:
Has gigapocket EVER worked right?

Do you think it has anything to do with your TV settings - as in PAL vs NTSC? I don't know where you are from, but there are a few different PAL settings according to which country you are in. You can adjust these settings somewhere within Gigapocket.

Did you try manually tuning the channels in better? (I really don't think this is your problem, though)

Are you using up all your RAM by running other huge programs at the same time? (I doubt this is your problem either, but this happens sometimes with .avi files on my little vaio).

Hopefully this was helpful...

I did, so maybe that is why my Gigapocket is working ok :smileygrin:

That is a good suggestion!

To answer the questions;
I oaded all the updates that the kit was delivered with .
Gigapocket never did work properly. I have taken care with set up and can get proper sync with TV on Viao Media.
The good news is the Sony have accepted that it is there problem. There is a fix on the way but the machine will have to be returned.
I'm happy with that - on the basis they fix it soon but surprised to be the only one experiencing the problem.

Maybe you have got something runing in the background like SONICSTAGE Or VAIO MEDIA

Hi, you are not the only one with this problem, I have the same problem to.
If I understand you correctly there's nothing we can do, but take it back when they have a solution ??

Another user with an Audio Sync Problem

Hi, I've also got the audio sync problem. It appears to be intermittent, but generally appears to be after a period of heavy cpu usage, almost as though the cpu is have trouble keeping up with the decoding.

I'd quite like a definitive answer from Sony on wether it's a recognised issue and what's being done about it.

Cheers

This is starting to sound typical of Sony Support these days.
