In this article, you will learn how to fix the problem of audio and video not being synchronized on Windows 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Unsynchronized Sound and images when playing video files can create a bad experience. Sometimes, you may notice that the Sound is playing before the video and vice versa; Watching videos in such situations can be annoying.<\/p>\n<p>Outdated audio or video drivers, temporary issues with browsers or online streaming platforms, or problems with internet connections may cause this problem.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, behind the scenes, many problems arise when working with different devices, and there are temporary and minor faults and errors, which sometimes require complicated solutions. Still, they are solved by using simple solutions in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in the upcoming article, we will mention the most straightforward solutions to other well-known methods to solve the problem of audio and video not being synchronized in Windows 11.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>1- Check internet connection and system resources<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Suppose you are experiencing audio and video inconsistency while streaming or playing video online. In that case, the problem is highly likely related to the internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in the initial stages of troubleshooting audio and video inconsistency, you should check whether your internet connection is established and works at a constant speed.<\/p>\n<p>After ensuring the network is stable enough to watch video online, you should check the system resources to see if the problem persists at the browser level.<\/p>\n<p>Browsers or streaming service applications usually involve many hardware resources, especially RAM and processors, which can cause the system to experience poor performance in video processing if other activities are in progress.<\/p>\n<p>To solve this problem, if you use a browser for online streaming, close as many unnecessary and additional tabs as possible. Also, if you are using specific programs for streaming, open the <a href=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/how-to-use-task-manager-in-windows-11\/\">Task Manager<\/a> and click on CPU so that the programs will show their most significant share in the conflict. Processor, then close unused programs.<\/p>\n<p>You can also do the same for the programs that have used the most RAM by clicking on the RAM tab.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76698\" src=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/the-most-cpu-consuming-programs-in-task-manager.jpeg\" alt=\"Check internet connection and system resources\" width=\"750\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/the-most-cpu-consuming-programs-in-task-manager.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/the-most-cpu-consuming-programs-in-task-manager-300x267.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget that some programs still don&#8217;t close when you close the window and run in the background.

Sometimes, restarting the system can also help solve possible video playback problems.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>2- Clear the browser cache or change the streaming service<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, the browser cache may cause audio and video synchronization problems. You can delete browsing history, cookies, and stores to fix the video and audio sync problem.<\/p>\n<p>The steps to remove the cache are different in different browsers.To find the browser you are using and to know how to clear the cache of Chrome and other browsers, refer to the article on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>Are the audio and video synced there? If clearing the browser cache doesn&#8217;t work, the browser, video player software, or specific display platform may have a problem or bug. You can check the issue by playing the movie or video in another browser or playback platform. If this problem is still unresolved, you should try the following methods.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>3- Windows 11 update<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Due to operating system problems, you should update Windows to the latest audio and video version, which is not synchronized in Windows 11.
