Windows Media Center Sound Lag when using 360

Anyone have any idea why the sound lags when I play my 360 on it with Windows Media Center?

here is my set-up, I have my Gateway Computer its Model is GM5626 with Intel Pentium Dual CPuE2180 @ 2.00Ghz each, It has 3070Mb Ram its Windows Vista 32 Bit OS
It has NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT G-Card.

My computer has the a/v cables in front and I order a av/s AV Multi cable X360 VGA 2RCA/3RCa Multi Cable. It lets my play my 360 on my 22"LCD computer Screen. But the only way i have found for the sound to play is to have my Windows Media Center opened and select "Live TV" which it does work this way. I switch my computer screen from DVI to VGA when I want to play 360. Anyways, The sound lags about 4 secs behind what actually happens on the xbox 360 screen. For example, switching the tabs on the 360 dashboard, move it to right takes about 3 secs for it to make the swoosh sound. On COD4, you shoot your gone takes about 3,4 secs for you to actually hear the shot. Any ideas on what to do? Also looking for computer speakers that would allow the audio cables from the 360 to plug them into it and have a headset output so I could a headset at night to play. Thanks for any info.

Video is going straight from xbox to LCD while audio is going through the PC and bunch of software.

Do you think there is any way I could fix it or change somehting so it wouldnt lag? Like instead of putting the VGA part straight the the LCD think I could plug it into the G-card because the card has both dvI and VGA right next to eachother, so maybe i could the VGA part as like an Input and go though WMC. IDK that prolly wont work. Graphic Cards are prolly only outputs I think. Anways if you have any ideas or know anyone point them my way thanks

Your speakers system: get some jack to RCA adapters and plug directly to speakers, this way both audio and video are direct and should solve your problem Good Luck.
