Change Audio Sync With VLC Media Player

with 18 comments

You download a movie and the audio is out of sync with what you see. That is something you can easily fix with VLC.

If you need to adjust your audio because you hear things before you see them press Ctrl L. You need to do this while playing so you can see how much you need to adjust it. It slows it at 50ms at a time.

To speed it up press Ctrl K which will increase at 50ms a time.

Tip: Keep theme for sudo and root sessions

without comments

If you’ve downloaded themes from the internet you’ll notice they don’t apply to root and/or sudo sessions. Here is how you fix that. Open a terminal up and type the following. Replace “username” with your username.


sudo ln -s /home/username/.themes /root/.themes
sudo ln -s /home/username/.icons /root/.icons
sudo ln -s /home/username/.fonts /root/.fonts
