Hi all,<BR>
<BR>
The only part of my system that I'm not entirely happy about is my sound setup. I have a Diamond Extreme 7.1 card in the P-4 2.6Ghz system. It's connected with spdif to a cheap Koss surround AC3/digital decoder.<BR>
<BR>
The issue I'm having is I think the cheap Koss decoder is causing about a 300ms lag when its decoding AC3 so I can almost never get the video/audio in sync. I've tried almost everything I can think of to resolve that issue and have pretty much given up on that problem. When not sending AC3 over spdif, the video/audio is in sync. <BR>
<BR>
I want to get the best sound quality I can. The question I have is should I be looking for a better AC3 decoder/receiver or since my sound card can send directly out to amp'd speakers, should I be looking at getting just good speakers? I'm open to suggestions on models, etc. too. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks for any suggestions.<BR>
<BR>
Norm
