    Hello,

    I own an Inspiron 1520 and have recently started using the integrated webcam. The picture quality is great, but when used in webcam sessions or personal recordings, my voice is out of sync with the image. Is there any way to fix this issue?

    Thanks!

    Are you connected to the internet during usage or no internet?

    Hi.

    what driver are you using, I used an microsoft driver on my Samsung and the audio and video were out of sync.

    Make certain you are using the latest dell webcam driver.

    Regards

    John.

    Thank you for responding.

    I double checked the driver and it is the correct one and up to date.

    I still have out of sync issues.

    Have you tried a clean install? or re-installing drivers?

    Yes. I re-installed windows and installed the new drivers.

    I have no idea.

    Are other individuals not having this problem?

    wow...reinstalling windows to fix a web cam issue...talk about a sucky OS...

    ok, for your problem I suggest you look up the specs of your webcam. These cheap webcams are highly overrated. They're 2Mpx but the hardware can't handle such high resolutions hence the a/v sync issue.
