What can I do in playback when graphics display is out of sync with the audio in some, but not all, sessions?

what do you mean by "graphics display"???

When watching the cursor scroll through the music, the cursor reaches the front of each bar before the audio sounds. The audio is approximately 1/4 second later than the cursor shows.
This anomaly only shows on a few sessions, but not in the majority of them, so I don't know if it is related to the session qualities (most of the sessions are the same size (roughly 300k).

ah, well Live prioritises audio playback over updating the GUI, so if your set it pushing the limits of your computer, then the user interface updates get jerky, that might be your problem.

It's PDC.

Thanks for all of your comments. I found out it was a corrupt session. I reverted to an earlier one and there is no problem.
No meat. Agree.
Cotton. Agree.
No PC. I have never had problems with my PC.
The corrupted session came from someone else's computer.
So, problem solved.
