I add:

In fact, it's impossible. There is no plasma display available that
does not have latency.

into a stereo. I guarantee you there will be a delay (avid seemingly
built it that way). The HDMI circuits expect audio and video to be
exploited together and are separation happen via the plasma.

I state:

It's pretty clear that the HDMI output has audio and video in sync.
It's when you use audio and video from different sources that you
encounter trouble. In order for the HDMI circuitry to provide
audio/video sync, one or the other must be delayed internally. If you
use video from the HDMI and audio from the computer's audio outs, yes
you'll get a sync difference. This is not news. I think I've
mentioned it here in the past (either here or on another list) that if
you simply use the audio & video provided from ONE source (in this
case, the HDMI), most of the time your sync errors will go away.

get rid of the problem, particularly on cheap screens. I got older and
now buy only very fast screens and use S video. Staying analog saved me
loads of hassel. There are resync boxes that cost a fortune or there
are HDMI boxes that have analog audio outputs. Hope this helps.

I say:

It's too bad you spent hours juggling screens and DNAs. Fortunately,
you now have a juggling talent that can be used in the circus. ;)
I'm happy that you've found a solution. BTW, there are resync boxes
that DON'T cost a fortune:
