Audio sync issue tweeks? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Anyone know if there are any tweeks that can be done to help sync audio on the HD2? I know when using WM6.5 I could do an "offset" that would help but under WM7 the lag seems to be worse, especially when watching Netflix

any1 knows what this problem causes and how to fix this?

Coreplayer

Im starting to get the feeling my phone never came with it. I can't find it anywhere.. does anyone know where it should be? Even a directory location would be helpful but i've searched the phone from top to bottom looking for it
coreplayer is not included software for htc hd2 (as far as i know)
Its not included, you can get it from http://coreplayer.com/
While I get 158% on benchmark and it plays really smoothly (in the benchmark) it then judders and is useless when not in benchmark mode, so I wouldn't bother with it...
I am having problems installing Coreplayer. Running the purchased pocketpc cab file it tells me my hardware isn't supported. I have been in touch with Coreplayer (who take at least 24 hours to respond) and all they can tell me is I need to use the pocketpc version, this is what I am using. I've paid for this and it won't run on my phone even after factory resetting, I'm getting frustrated now after 3 days of trying.
Has anybody else had problems? Are there any possible solutions such that I can install it?
Any help gratefully received
Ah cheers guys. I hate video reviews that show apps and claim that they come with the phone lol. Yeah i'm not reading great things about it though so I deffo wont be purchasing it.
It's working just fine with me, make sure you set GDI as video output.
Coreplayer works fine on mine... although it doesnt rotate or follow the GUI like it used to on my omnia.
This seems to be a failing throughout the interface... the rotation doesnt follow the device.
Is there any way to fix this
GG
Direct Draw seems better than GDI on mine, wierd
Coreplayer installs and works fine, however i am unable to enable A2DP functionality with with my headset. It recognises volume control but not pause, Forward or backward.
However i think this is a device issue, as i've tried installing S2P and it does exactly the same thing!
Anyone have any ideas?
I have the feeling that the image quality on HD with QTV enabled on Coreplayer is better when playing the same file on HD2 with GDI or RAW FB.
Anybody can confirm ?
I just found this thread and wanted to thank tnyynt as I had been using Coreplayer with the default DirectDraw setting and the playback wasn't so great but changed to GDI and it surpasses my Archos 5 IMT. Top stuff.
So GDI is better than DirectDraw ? haven't noticed any difference, at least for me. Although GDI takes advantage of hardware acceleration at some points.
In scenes where the camera was panning sideways with Directdraw you could see the image kind of wobble as it redrew the picture from top to bottom but with GDI selected this no longer happens. Much smoother playback of XviD's for me.
Can you guys please post details of the verions of Coreplayer you are using?
I ask I was 'acquired' a copy of v1.3.2 to test and it seemed fine. I then went and purchased a copy (latest - v1.13.6) however on installing this it seems dreadful no matter what settings I used.
Not sure if this is something to do with me uninstalling one version then installing another, or a ROM upgrade etc, however just wanted to check.
Cheers, Simon
CorePlayer v1.3.6 on HD2 only 50% qality rending any video !!!
The video image quality on HD2 with CorePlayer v1.3.6 GDI or RAW is lower with 50% !!! When playing the same file on HD2 with HTCvideoPlayer video image is the best !!!

Video, What am I doing wrong.

I have tried several trials on video converters and no matter what I do I get great picture but the voice is way behind.
How do I get the voice to catch up with the film. ( sorry I know it is not techy language)
I use MediaCoder to transcode video. It's free.
http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
The even got the iPod Edition which u can use for simplicity reason.
Thank you, can you tell me what settings you have used on that programme.
Core player, THE best media player you can get imo.
Will even play .mkv!!!

He is talking about encoding the movie.
You can try Windows Media Encoder (from Microsoft).
It's also free, and does a good job on encoding movies.
hi guys,
i seem to be having the same problem with the whole audio and video out of sync. i have tried a range of format eg. wmv, mp4, 3gp etc but all are about half a second out of sync. i have even tried core player and tmpcp but with no luck. did anybody else have this problem and manage to fix it? any help will be much appreciated
Hello,
I use the HTC Touch HD Video Converter which is very good. He is especially for WVGA 800 x 480 screens, and the quality of the movie is very good.
HTC Touch HD Video Converter v1.21
DVDFab6
I have not (yet) seen the problem with the sound you describe here.
I use DVDFab6 since a while, originally to convert videos to my iPod, but now also to my HD2.
I have a Touch Diamond too, but the screen is a bit too small to watch for longer time and it drains the batteries also very fast. I haven't tried yet fully, but my first tests show me I can do 3-4 hrs of video on one battery and still have enough power left to use it as a phone. Which is very useful if you have to do a lot of short flights.
I use the PS3 settings in DVDFab6 and adjust the display to 800x444 size, depending on the original size. I found that I can not play them directly from Mediaplayer, but if I click on them in the FileExplorer they start playing without any problem.
BTW, also the iPod m4v files play nicely without delays on the HD2
Yeah i have the same problem, the video/audio file is perfect on my pc but about half a second out of each other on my HD2. You can adjust the audio/video sync in core player but it shouldn't be happening in the first place.
hi guys, thanks for your help. i called htc tech support but all they were able to say was perform a hard reset, which sadly didnt fix the problem! even mp4 videos downloaded straight from the net have the same problem. such a shame because apart from that its an amazing phone. will keep trying and post up if i have any luck
I just tried the one that Braakie suggested and although it converted my 700Mb AVI film to a 500Mb MPEG 4 film, when i tried to copy it to my SD card on my HD2 it said the MPEG 4 format wasn't supported. Can someone enlighten me as to what formats are supported and/or what movie player they use.
I'm having the same audio sync issues as others here. I'm encoding using handbrake and when I play it back on the PC it is perfectly in sync. However when I play it back on the HD2 using the HTC video player the audio lags slightly but noticeably behind the video. When I copy it to my wife's Touch HD it plays fine, so it seems to be a problem with the HD2 software.
I'm running the stock Vodafone 1.43 ROM with all hotfixes applied. Will a ROM update fix this? Anyone else with this ROM having/not having this problem?
I'd be very grateful for any input.
Chaps,
Somewhere on XDA is Chainfire's video driver update (or a reference to it) which you should find and install to help overcome the lip synch issue.
If you can't find it using Search...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all then go onto the Modaco site and its there somewhere under the Toshiba TG01 device.
Good hunting.

Thanks for your help - I've found the driver here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592663
However, as far as I can see that's a 3D OpenGL driver and not something that I would expect to affect video/audio synchronisation. Unless, of course, you had the same problem and this fixed it for you? I don't really want to mess about with video drivers unless I'm sure it will fix it.
I was a little dubious and cautious myself but installing the driver did seem to make a difference, sufficient for me not to notice it as much.
Installation is a personal choice. You might want to make a full backup of your device using, say, SPB Backup, before you install. That way you can do hard reset and restore if you don't like the driver.
All the best,
WB
I have the same problem with youtube vids too, just had a replacement hd2, but it's just the same, skyfire, coreplayer, youtube you name it, audio lags the video...
Real pain in the butt for a device who's main feature is a huge screen...!!!

Well I installed the 3D driver, which was easy enough, but unfortunately it made no difference at all to the video/audio sync in either of the two driver modes so I uninstalled it again. (No need for a hard reset, thankfully). I'm using the video in this thread to test since you can easily tell whether it's properly in sync or not.

Oh well, it was worth a try - thanks for the suggestion.

Please try this video: in sync on PC, out of sync on HD2

The attached very short video clip plays perfectly in sync (watch the drumsticks!) on my PC and on my wife's Touch HD, but is not in sync on my HD2 using the HTC video player.
The problem must therefore lie not with the video encoding, but with the HD2.
Please tell me if it is in sync or not on your HD2, and what ROM you are using so that I'll know if a ROM update might fix it. I'm using the stock 1.43 Vodafone UK ROM with all 4 hotfixes applied.
I really would appreciate any help in solving this issue since it's happening with nearly all my .mp4 videos on the HD2. The problem does not occur with .wmv files but I'd rather use .mp4 if I can.
Thanks.
Tested. Indeed it is a touch out of sync, playing with wmp.
deffo out of sync with vlc. really quite unnerving.
With CorePlayer out of sync, too.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I've just flashed from stock Vodafone 1.43 ROM to Miri's WM65_21889_Sense25_V2.0 ROM (highly recommended), which is based on the 1.61 ROM and it's still out of sync. I've therefore sent a support request to HTC who are going to test it out on various devices and get back to my by the end of the week.
I'll let you know what they say. I've told them it's affecting other people too, so hopefully they won't just suggest a hard reset.
Confirmed: sound and video out of synch in HTCAlbum, WMP and CorePlayer. I'm running the t-mobile version of 1.43 with camera hotfix.
Is this video recorded via the phone or something else?
There have been cases where videos are encoded improperly, they play fine on PCs, but go OOS on hardware based players....several scene dvdrips have been subjected to such an error before.

Ripped from DVD using SPB Mobile DVD, and then converted to .mp4 using Handbrake. This plays fine on the Touch HD, so there's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't play fine on the HD2. It's not an exception either - almost all my .mp4 videos are very slightly out of sync. Most of the time you can't tell - you need something like the drumsticks to know for sure if it's in sync or not.
Hopefully I'll get an update tomorrow from HTC support, but I'm not holding my breath for a fix.
This needs sorting out, i've been using winmenc to compensate for the syn issue but this morning i played Harry Brown on it and it is still out of sync. Maybe this rip works ok without the sync fix, will have to see tonight
sync is fine on my Touch HD, very odd it doesnt play properly on the HD2
HTC need to take note of this, i'm surprised that more members haven't reported this complaint. There are 3 threads about it, i would expect an issue like this to have many many pages

Yep, in sync on pc mashed up on hd2. I'm going to email HTC now with all this info, i urge everyone else does also
I noticed this using DivX a month or two ago, I stopped using video files after that. But I installed TCPMP last night and played The Hurt Locker on it, the audio seems to be more or less in sync, not perfect but certainly not the one or two seconds out of sync that is was on the DivX Player.
I have had audio and video sync issues on all my HTC devices, I just assumed it was due to the lack of processing power. But the HD2, that shouldn't struggle surely?

ofcourse not, my n96 played mp4's flawlessy, none of this syn issues or juddering. I can't quite get my nut round why it is struggling so much
I also can't understand people who say they can play divx through coreplayer flawlessy either, it drops frames like a mother F$%^&*
I really have moaned my nuts off about this so apologies to members who keep reading me moaning about it hahah!

I am sure if I tinkered with the audio/video sync in TCPMP I could get it in sync, but it is bloody annoying. I might actually have a play now, see if I can actually get it perfectly in sync.
*Edit* Seems to work just fine without doing anything, on Windows Media Player and TCPMP.
I used a clip of The Hurt Locker and it seems to work just fine, as does the whole film.
The file I used.

that's not an issue. It's easy to get into sync in coreplayer (and probably TCPMP) the problem with those players is that they judder/drop frames so to me it is not usable no matter what settings you use.
I edited my last post, maybe it's just a Coreplayer/DivX player issue?

Problem with playing H.264 format

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my HD2. I used BsB tweaks tool to enable some new features. Among other I’ve enabled additional recording formats in camcorder. Unfortunately when i record a move in H.264 I am not able to play it. The phone freezes on "Loading..." screen I was trying few things to solve the problem:
1\ installing TCMCP
2\ installing Core Player
3\ looking for codecs (unsuccessfully)
4\ HR
... non of above helped I'm using official ROM 1.66 RADIO: 2.07 Does anybody encountered such a problem ? Any ideas ? Please hlep…
Please, anyone ? At lease let me know if its normal that i'm not able to play movies in H.264 format. I'll be very gratefull...
Same here mate - unable to play them. I personally don't see it as a big deal and just use MPEG.
Grate, thanks for the answer... I was worrying that something is wrong with my HD2
BTW previously I was using HTC TP2 and there was no problem with playing H.264 video format... Any idea why ?
I have no idea mate. It was obviously disabled for a reason though
Well for sure it was ... But still wondering... TP2 is a more likely business smartphone and HD2 rather multimedial device - for music, videos, games etc. So why the function is disabled here ?!
