Delay between video and sound with airport express

Hello,

I have an airport express. My sound go to my spearker on the air express. With itunes and music it'sperfect ! But when I want to see a video from VLC or on youTube or another webSite. I have 2 second of delay between the sound and the video. It's most unpleasant.

What I can do. I try airfoil, but I have some noise with the sound and sometimes, I haven't sound.

Thank for your help and if you have a solution.

Since Apple does not support streaming movie audio, most folks rely on Airfoil as a workaround. Unfortunately, the delay you are referring is an issue with Rogue Amoeba. Their solution is to use Airfoil's Video Player. I am assuming that this is what you are currently using with VLC & YouTube ... correct?

If so, you may want to post you issue on their support site for further assistance.

Follow up-

There are applications on ios devices that manage to sync airport audio with local video. Where and in which developer documentation is the airport ( both the interface and the protocol it uses to transport audio ) described / explained / written about? If you do not know can you point me in the direction of someone who might know?
