As the sync rates don't seem to be doing the job, what setting do you have
set for your color? If 16 million or better, which seems to want to be the
default each time you change something else, make sure you are at say 16
thousand or 256 or something lower than 16 million each time you change the
sync. Sooner than later you will hit a combo that works.
