    I have completed the game but I found this issue nearly game breaking. Audio for cutscenes is a good 2 seconds behind what it should be. Tried to replay the game and Freedom's Progress where the quarians fight the mech turned me right off as I remembered the many instances where this happens. They recently released a patch but the patch only fixed the genesis comic issue from the other patch. So yes a patch for a patch. Also dialogue sometimes cuts off at the very end however I don't have as much issue with this than I do with the cutscene audio lag.

    I can't imagine them releasing a patch for the audio synch as this has been a problem from release and ME3 is most likely their main focus.
    I need to vent my frustration somewhere. I loved the game and the story but this is such a blatant flaw it is nearly impossible for me to push through it. Anyone have a similar experience or know a fix?

    I had this happen with my copy of Uncharted 2, I just exchanged it and the next copy worked fine.

    I also had this problem. Not sure why, but it didn't bother me that much.

    Seems it isn't universal, however I'm not paying a load of money because some discs are BS. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling at some point. Seriously though just makes me angry when you hear gunfire 2 seconds after everyone stopped talking.
    Jack's mission is terrible for this, especially the ending.

    If the game was not as good as it is I would not have put up with it.

    I experienced this exactly once on the PC version.  Went away after a game restart, but man it was annoying.
     
    I hope they get that fixed for you.
