Sound out of sync on HDTV but fine on laptop screen

Really weird issue. When playing on my laptop screen at 1480x900 everything works great but when I plug it into my TV the inputs are all laggy. I tried a variety of resolutions but nothing has helped.
Has anyone else found this issue?

I know this is kind of a necropost but it doesn't seem to have been addressed and is kind of a common problem...modern TVs often apply post-processing to the image which can result in a delay of anything from 5ms to about 200ms which is enough to break a game like this. Does your TV have a "Game mode" or "AMR" or something similar which turns off all the post-processing?

When I turn it on, it seems to help, but that out of sync problem still happens.

My game never falls out of sync either with v-sync on or off. Perhaps you don't meet the system requirements or something? I'm not sure.

I found the solution to my problem, not sure if it will help anyone else though.

Steam Broadcasting and forced V-Sync ON seemed to cause game sync problems for me, especially after the steam broadcasting color bar turns yellow for a short time, and then back to green. I tested a certain section of Stage 5 and had no game sync issues after turning off steam broadcasting and allowing my video card to let the application decide the v-sync settings, then turning the game v-sync settings to off.

I think steam broadcasting may interfere with the game sync problem, and it's probabaly more noticeable on a weaker system.
Turning ON Vertical Sync doesn't seem to help either, it seems to make the problem happen more often.

I just played Stage 1 without any problems on an LED TV connected with HDMI.

How do you turn off steam broadcasting? Is that the same as playing offline?
