Hello,

We are thinking to implement changes as suggested on below link:

Video and Audio out of Sync

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/troubleshoot-live-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/troubleshoot-live-streaming)

I am trying to understand what value means in sortBufferSize, I will appreciate if anyone can help!

Also we are running all high/main profile streams with about 950kbps bitrate, does this settings affect streams anyway?

Thanks,

---

Hi

The buffer is the time in milliseconds it has to re-order the packets so that audio and video are in sync.

If the audio is half a second out then 750 is a big enough buffer time.
