Having sound delay on my tv?

Question

just got my new hd, and im getting a half second or so sound delay. nothing extreme, but every now and then i really do notice it. i have a old tuner, cable box, and 360 all hooked up and each component works fine. is the slight delay normal or is the delay coming from doubling up a connecting somewhere? and i hear before i see witch to me is weird.. dont know....

Answer 1

Audio digital processing is so much simple than the video processing that they can get out of sync. This is particularly true where you have a satellite receiver or cable set-top box. HDMI cables have a provision that allows for the synchronization of sound and video over the cable. Use of a HDMI cable between the cable set-top box and your TV often times elliminates this issue.
