How to Fix Out of Sync Audio Krypton

Out of Sync Audio Solution in Krypton

The Family have gathered round to view a Movie, snacks are at the ready, beverages are poured and everyone have settled into their favorite place to watch. The ok is given by all, you press Play and then someone speaks….. but wait ! Something’s wrong, their lips are moving but the Audio is not in Sync with their lips! Now everyone turns their attention to you with that look of death on their faces ! Have no fear, here’s a fix to make you look like the Star you really are.

Common causes of Out of Sync Audio

Poor WiFi Connection or WiFi drop outs. Rebooting your Router then Device may help.

The Server with the stream may be busy. Try another link or Add-on.

If none of the above provide any help, follow the next set of steps. While the Movie is playing, select the Speaker Icon located in the bottom right corner.

sync audio

A new window will appear, selecting Audio offset will now take you to the next step.

Adjusting Audio Offset

An “incremented slide” will appear at the top of your screen. This is where some experimenting will come into play. If the Audio is behind, then move the slide to the Right slightly, to speed up the sync. 0.500 at a time seems to be a number that works well.
Moving it to the Left will be required if the Sync is faster than what the characters appear to be saying.
Knowing approximately how fast ahead or behind the actual speech is will help you determine how much to add or subtract. This may take a few attempts to complete so be patient, but it is an easy solution to complete.

Once you are happy with the results, click on “Set as default for all media”. If you find this is an issue with most of the movies you try, then enable that option. Normally this only occurs occasionally so I don’t think it’s necessary, but again this is a personal choice.
A bonus solution found here is the Enable or Disable Subtitles (Red Arrow) as well as the Subtitle Offset, which does exactly same for text as it does for the Audio of a movie.

Once you’re happy with the results, select Close to exit and return to the Movie.

IN CONCLUSION

Out of Sync Audio when it occurs can be troubling to even a seasoned user of Kodi. Rather than make a complicated “How To” explanation, a simple Photo walk thru can explain the instructions much easier. In addition to this method being used for Krypton, it will be Identical in Jarvis versions of Kodi as well.

f4mTester-What is it and do I need it ?

f4mTester What, Where and Why ? The What : F4mTester was created by the developer Shani, (you may remember the now dead Zen Add-on) where it was placed in their Repo as a dependency. In a nutshell, f4mTester decodes various types streaming video files. That includes HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) and Real-Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP) streams that are displayed in media players, including Kodi. When you open a streaming video in your media player, it needs to be decoded to view. The F4M manifest file helps your media player understand and decode the video stream. Since this file contains info about the stream, f4mTester helps Kodi read those F4M files and decode them in a way that makes sense. So simply put, f4mTester locates the F4M files and helps Kodi display the live streams that you want to watch. Without it, many live streaming Kodi addons would not work or would have serious issues displaying a large amount of content. The Where: Normally, we would have...

WiFi Settings & Tweaks for Kodi

I thought I’d cover the one of the most talked about issues in the world of streaming and thats WiFi and how to get the best out of it, practical measures and not some of the voodoo you read on some forums! What is WIFi? The term Wi-Fi refers specifically to the IEEE 802.11 set of standards for wireless networks. Several different standards are designated by a letter suffix on the 802.11, such as in 802.11g or 802.11n. In general all of the 802.11 standards operate on either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio frequency. 5GHz has much greater speed capability but a reduced range; generally speaking the lower a frequency the further it will travel, so don’t expect miracles if you switch to 5GHz. A key thing to note here is that if ANY device uses the older “b” standard then ALL devices *could* have their speed reduced to 11mbps on “g” networks, depending on your router. This really applies to older equipment or cheap equipment with old parts used in it *cough* t...
