On Singstar on one TV it works fine. On my new Plasma TV the sound from the microphone is about 1 sec delayed?

Question

Because of the delay of the microphone, on my Plasma TV the microphone output never matches my singing. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Alan

Answer 1

Some plasma TVs introduce lag to their display. Normally with non-interactive content like TV or DVD movies, this is not a problem.
However while gaming, the latency is noticeable.

Guitar Hero II for example has an option to calibrate the game to your HDTV lag. But the game itself must make the calibration. If Singstar doesn't offer this compensation for lag, you're out of luck.

Answer 2

only thing u can do i think is to get a lead
splitter and run it thru a second appliance
or something along those lines.

any good?

i did think about a hi fi but of course it wouldn't work bcos the signal output is not compatible i don't think.

I think the problem here lies in the specs of the plasma tv. how about asking the place where u bought it or go back to the manufacturer to see the cause/ possible solutions. i got an idea what it might be but can't quite remember.
