Part 1. How to Fix VLC Audio Delay on Windows
We will begin this guide by presenting the solution to resolving audio delay in VLC Media Player’s Windows version. Fortunately, this option only involves using keyboard shortcuts, which can be directly solved by teaching our users what key to press to adjust the audio delay setting. Additionally, audio delays may also be caused by VLC player lagging, and these steps may also resolve this issue.
Please read our three-step guide below to learn how to edit the configurations for delay audio in VLC Media Player for Windows.
Open VLC Media Player, click Media, and then select Open File. Next, browse your computer for the video you want to play in the media player.
Once the video you selected has been opened in VLC Media Player, use the keyboard shortcut to adjust the audio delay. Press J to apply a 50ms delay to the audio, or press K to apply a 50ms advance. Repeatedly press the J or K buttons to apply a longer delay or advance the media audio.
After pressing either the J or K buttons, a notification in VLC Media Player will appear on the video you are watching to notify you that the audio delay or advance was applied.
Due to the lack of an Audio Delay option in VLC Media Player’s menu, most users of the software are often unaware of the feature that allows them to adjust the Audio Delay of media playing in the program. This is especially true if you are not familiar with keyboard shortcuts.
Part 2. How to Fix VLC Audio Delay on Android
Since VLC Media Player is a cross-platform software, VLC for Android has a different way of applying audio delays to videos. Fortunately, applying audio delay adjustments and even video cropping in VLC for Android is much more controllable than VLC for Windows.
Please read our three-step guide below to learn how to edit a video’s audio delay on VLC for Android.
Open the video you want to watch in VLC for Android. Look for the Audio and Subtitle menu in the lower left section of the media player interface.
Once the Audio and Subtitle menu is opened, tap on the drop-down menu button beside Audio. Then, select the Audio Delay option that will appear.
After selecting the Audio Delay option, an Audio Delay menu overlay will appear on the video. In it, you can tap the Increase or Decrease buttons beside the 0 ms label to either apply audio delay or audio advance.
Unlike its Windows counterpart, VLC for Android has a much more controllable Audio Delay option. This is helpful for most users who want to enjoy entertainment on the go but are experiencing issues with media files that have poor audio-video sync.
