# Using Low Latency Audio Buffering Mode

When using DeckLink or NDI Output, audio and video may go out of sync due to different signal paths, processing delays, or network latency.

**Low Latency Audio Buffering Mode** helps minimize audio delay, improving synchronization with video for a smoother streaming experience.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When this mode is enabled with network-based workflows like NDI, unstable or congested network conditions may lead to increased buffering, stuttering, or unexpected sync issues. For best results, use a stable, high-speed wired network connection. Additionally, this mode may increase CPU usage, particularly on lower-end systems.
{% endhint %}
