I have the same thing with AppleTV1, at first I thought my hard drive was fragmented, and it was so, I defragged it but it did not change anything.
My lag/speedup is 2 seconds at most, sporadic and totally unpredictable.
Also I confirm that this is new since Dharma release.

I have done some sound testing yesterday, and I can confirm that using WASAPI on both HDMI and/Or Optical/coax settings will eliminate this problem completely. although I found a bug in XBMC after playing the Video "any video" for some time, about 30 seconds or a minute from start if I pause for 10 to 20 seconds and then play the movie again the sound will be completely go out of sync, It will become very late and with echo.
No matter what settings I tried to fix Sync Audio/Video it just does not work in WASAPI. Obviously the sync options does not apply to WASAPI, but if I use the navigation buttons to jump forward or backwards the sound goes back to sync again, but not very practical.
I think we might need a ticket for this one, If WASAPI works flawlessly I will not be forced to use any other option that causes delay in Audio/Video sound sync.
Cheers,
EG.

I've updated to 10.1 (Live) and still have this issue. Is it not supposed to be fixed in this release?

I just did a search on bugtracker to see if anything has been filed in regards to this but came up with nothing. Is anyone aware of an actual bug report submission related to this thread? If not, I'd be happy to file my first ;-)

Hi! With thanks to X3lectric I have discovered why my system was doing this. It's so simple and easy I thought its worth you all trying!
Instead of "space bar" to pause and play, use "p"
Good luck!

Thought I'd tag on to this thread as opposed to start my own.
Playing a DVD through XBMC, pause it for a few minutes, come to unpause and the audio is a few seconds out from the video. Didn't seem to correct itself in the short time I could stand watching it like it!
A quick chapter back and then forward again and it started from the selected chapter fine.
A quick scan through this thread seems that it's still a problem, am I right, or have I scanned over the solution.
Cheers

This thread was an early Google hit for "xbmc playback is quick after unpausing." I'm still having the problem in v12.2. Is there a fix in v12.3 or the 13 betas?
