Sound delay! Is there any way to fix a 5 to 8 sec sound delay when talking on Webcam. We are using Video call. Is it an internet problem or is it the cams.. All suggestions are welcome.. Nothing is said about delay in Audio section.. Thanks

Are you perchance talking about a television?

Can you give us some hints about what brand and what model?

Connected directly to a wall outlet, or using a power strip?

And streaming devices attached?

It sounds like the Yam can switch video sources but the audio amplifier section is dead. Although I'm not familiar with this unit, simple logic tells me that unless it's a mulit-channel and/or surround sound" setting, the audio section of your Yamaha has failed. If the Yam has speaker protection mode (5-10 sec. delay when 1st turned on) it's possible that a defective speaker (or speaker wire) could be causing the protection circuit to NOT connect amp-to-speakers. Disconnect one speaker at a time (at rear connection on Yamaha) to see if audio returns.

Some delay might be normal, because your phone requires some time to encode the A2DP stream, and your stereo headsets will also add some more to the total delay time, since it has to decode that stream, but it all depends on the processor's hardware and power, the application being used to play the media file, the codecs used, the headset's quality, etc. So, in general, A2DP might not be the way to go, whenever image synchronization is required, like watching movies, music clips, TV streams, etc. Wired headsets would be a better choice for such cases, instead.
In can tell you that in my current phone,an Acer Tempo M900, if I run WMP to watch a MP4 encoded music clip, with its audio being streamed via A2DP to my SE HBH-IS800 stereo headsets, the sound delay might be considered negligible. I'm pretty sure newer phones would perform even better. But I remember having experienced heavy delays with other environments in the past.
Just my 2 cents... Carlos

Your cam is perfect. when youuse it from my computer> view my cam> u see faster. But when you on your cam in messenger there is 1 or 2 sec delay. Its happend by internet speed. But as per your information 1 - 2 sec delay is a good result of your web cam . Just enjoy it.
Some people face 3-4 sec delay. all of these depend on internet upload speed.
Thanks & waiting for your feedback

check the Mic Input jack!!

Normal 0 Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.

Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.

A. Skype Setup:

After downloading and installing Skype set it up as follows:

1. Go to TOOLS, then OPTIONS, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
2. Then click on the Video Settings.
3. The camera if installed properly will come up and show a picture.
4. Then on the bottom of the page click on Save.

The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now see and talk to you.

B. Yahoo Setup:

After downloading and installing Yahoo Messenger set it up as follows:

1. Go to Messenger at the top left and click on it.
2. Next go down to Preferences and click on it.
3. Next Calling and Devices on the right and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
4. Next go to the Test Audio section and (in blue writing) click on “Open the call setup assistant” and follow the instructions on the left window.

When done both the Audio and Video will function properly so you can chat and see family or friends you are connected to.
Hope this helps. Bud

in google talk use set up sound and image device and u can choose what sound and camera are u using

The speed of light and the speed of sound just don't mix well on a webcams. There is a process delay with these cameras. The only remedy I know of is to get a webcam with greater memory capacity. Say, a 3.1meg webcam. The logitech only has 300K of memory and has a slower response time. Recording with a low res window helps too. 160x120 verses 320x240. This helps with less response delay time between cams. Also, using an external mic helps too. You'll need to tweek the distince between the mic and the webcam to sinc the video and sound. Let me know if I can be of further assistence with this. I'll try to help you resolve this.

when do you recieve the delay when using a program over the internet or? Cause a webcam will naturally gain a delay when recording or broadcasting over the internet. I do a online webcast radio show, and after 20 minutes you have a 15-20 second delay which gets bigger as time goes on.
