Hi Chewitt,
In the whitelist with a 4K resolution, I only have frequencies 30Hz and below, despite having hdmi_enable_4kp60=1 set in the config file.
I changed the resolution to 1080p using the frequencies you suggested as well as increasing the GPU memory to 512 as fbicknel said and the same problem shows. It makes me wonder because the audio plays flawlessly, and it seems to be the fact that the video is stuttering sets it progressively further behind the audio.
As in the case of fbnicknel, my CPU is definitely not overloaded. Something which may be a further symptom is slight screen tearing on the transitions in the GUI, as if the refresh rate is slightly out.
Do you have any more ideas? I am having a brainstorm but at the moment am at a loss.
Many thanks again,
Toby
