Possible Audio Lag?

I think I notice a bit audio lag playing movies over lan. but might just be me being picky. I don't feel I noticed any with Parsec. but the lag, if it is real, is quite small. others might not notice

Hmmm. I see zero audio lag using P2P over lan. Anyway I remember it's still on TODO list (there is still space for improvement).

I think there is a very very small audio buffer to prevent audio "ticks" on empty buffer. There is no such problem with video as it's not a problem if the video has small stuttering from time to time on empty buffer. But for audio it is not pleasant to here audio buffer underruns.

Can you let me know if you see the same micro lag on the PC and mobile version? I think the lag is introduced on the decode side.

Thanks!

I've done some further testing.

1. Connection over lan (cable ethernet connection not wifi) - lipsync almost perfect on PC client connecting to PC host
2. Connection over lan (wifi from mobile device) - lipsync not perfect (worse than on PC client)
