    Your 60-second tech tip

    One tip a day. Listen to it while you make coffee, or read it now.

    Quick Fix

    TV audio out of sync? 95% of the time, the fix is "turn the TV off and back on."

    Streaming apps sometimes lose sync with the sound. The mouth moves, the words come a second later, and it is maddening.

    Hold the TV remote's power button for 5 seconds. When the TV restarts, the audio and video will realign. This also fixes most "remote stopped working" and "app frozen" issues.

    If it happens constantly, your HDMI cable may be failing. A new one is $10 at any hardware store — no need to replace the TV.
