Vegas (11) sync offset for external monitor question

I've been using an AJA Kona card for years to drive the external monitor from Vegas 11. One reason that I"m still using it is that the card has been fine and newer versions of Vegas don't support this card. I recently retired the card and am using a repurposed GeForce GTX680 card which has 4 outputs. Great, right? Well, the delay to my big tv monitor (the one for clients to watch) has a pretty noticeable delay. Now that I"m using WINDOWS GRAPHICS CARD as my video device (and not the AJA any more) there is no "sync offset" feature to fix this delay like there was for the AJA when driving the external monitor. Anybody know of a solution?

I notice that Vegas 17 has the sync offset feature available under Windows Gfx Card, but 11 does not. I've not yet gotten 17 to work properly on my system yet. The main reason I don't use it, the audio giltches with WAVES plugs still hasn't been addressed in the 64bit versions of Vegas, so that's another reason I'm still using Vegas11 for audio sessions.

Thx. jmm in STL

One of my Sony TVs has an adjustment for shifting audio. You might check the settings of the TV itself.

Well, the LG Monitor is not playing sound, so even if there was a setting for 'shifting audio' in the TV/Monitor, I'm not sure how that would help me. The easy way for now, is just to shift my video track(s) 5 frames earlier (that's the offset that I've calculated), but being sure to shift it back before rendering anything.
