Hello Each time I go to watch a video on a webpage like YouTube, the sound lags behind by about half a second. It becomes much more obvious when I'm watching somebody talking. It also happens when I click pause on a video, the sound carries on for a short while after. The problem only started about 5 days ago when I was watching a film. If anybody knows a way to fix it then I would appreciate your help. Thanks
Welcome To PCHF First open your device Manager and uninstall your audio driver and reboot. Type devmgmt.msc in your run box this will open device manager find your audio device right click it then uninstall. Reboot your machine.

Sorry, should have checked for this before, but I noticed that it is only happening on Google Chrome while watching videos. Is there anything that could be causing this? Thanks for all your help with the first question, greatly appreciated.
A few people have been having that issue with Chrome.Try uninstalling it and re installing.Or see if there is an update for but chrome will usually update by itself. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95414
