A computer conferencing system is provided with a transmission signal synchronization scheme. An Audio signal frame has a synchronization (sync) signal. The formatted audio including the sync signal is transmitted, together with the video signal frame and data signal frame, to the remote conferencing system via a communications network, such as a PSTN. The conferencing system is provided with a synchronization signal generator coupled to the compressed signal output of the audio board by way of a mixer. Further, the system includes a multiplexer/demultiplexer that mutiplexes/demultiplexes compressed and formatted audio/video/data generated by the audio board, video board, and host processor, respectively, with the communication board for transmission to and reception from the remote conferencing system. A synchronization control unit is coupled to data input lines of the multiplexer/demultiplexer for enabling/disabling addition of the sync signal to the audio signal frame, and for selecting a sync signal source according to the priority set by a software module.
