Hi, I have the Apple TV 2 and have no issues like this when streaming music or HD media either directly from my computer or from Apple using HDMI. As long as your Internet connection is good, the WiFi Access Point is working normally and you’re playing properly formatted media, there should not be any real noticeable lag. VO should speak normally as well.
Maybe I dived into this thread late, so if I’m missing some part of the conversation, I apologize. Later...
