Vista - Lifecam NX 6000 voice/video sync with Vista

Hello,
Don't know if this is the correct place to post this, if not please
advise.
When recording a video using the NX 6000 webcam, and playing it back in
Windows Media Player, the voice lags behind the video by about a second or
two. The sync looks fine in the recorder before I save it to file (or live)
but when playing it back, the voice lags. Would anyone know if there is a
fix for this or is this a problem with hardware? I have a Dell Inspiron E
1705 and a Sigma Tec High Definiton CODEC. Thank you for any help.

It is the driver for the audio card.

Go into the device properties, select playback devices and disable all
enhancements. This should fix the issue.

Hi Michael,

Thank you very much for trying to solve my problem. Here is what I did.
I opened the Playback/Recording devices window by right clicking on the
speaker icon found on the bottom right of my task bar. I then put a check
mark to disable all enhancements in the Speaker/Headphone properties. I
viewed a saved video that I just made after that box was checked and there
isn't any difference. The sound still lags behind the video. It is a
progressive thing. The longer the video, the further behind the audio
trails. Thanks again for your help. You've given me insite to the inner
workings of my system.

Just an update. After returning the first camera and receiving a
replacement, the problem still exists. I have found a work around, at least
when I save a video to my hard drive. Don't know how well this would work
when using Messenger. Anyway, I now use an independent, plug in microphone,
instead of using the mic that's built into the webcam. Works great so far.
