  4. How can this be done on a global level. All videos I play on Android are out of sync by -300ms and making this change on a video by video basis is just tedious!

  5. Almost what I’m looking for. Trying to fix a Bluetooth headset that’s always slightly behind a video or Netflix, etc. Any idea how or if this can be done so it works all the time and not just one video at a time?
    Thanks

    • Usually Bluetooth headset have time delays, depending on the quality and version of the Bluetooth. Please do check the time delay before the signal reaches the receiver.

  6. What do I do if the sound delay varies throughout a video? I synced the sound perfectly for one scene, but when the scene changed, the audio was out of sync again! The same with the next scene. At this point I have to keep the audio delay controls up on the screen so I can tweak them for each scene.
    Damned irritating.

  7. It worked for me on my SG S7, but only on VLC; how can it be saved for standard video playing apps, other than VLC?

    • You will have to use a video editing software to fix that permanently or if it was due to conversion, it could be fixed in Handbrake. Thanks

  8. Your answer is useless. I do not want to fix sound delay by tuning ‘one by one’ all the movies I play with VLC, with tedious adjusting clicking maneuvers, but to get VLC play right away sound track in is proper place, AS ANY OTHER MEDIA PLAYER DO.
