Audio problem: When Xander finds Cameron's skin, he is gasping and puts his hand over his mouth. The audio of him gasping, however, isn't muffled at all as it would be if he had his hand over his mouth, revealing it was looped in after the fact.

Audio problem: When Willow and Jenny jump in Cordy's car, Cordy mentions that she saw "these things coming at me!" However, her mouth isn't moving for the last few words.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11
Audio problem: When the invisible girl writes "Listen" on the chalkboard, the chalk sound effects don't match the writing for the last few strokes. (They're about a half-second too "early.").

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11
Audio problem: When Cordy and Buffy are talking and Cordy says "Well it beats being alone all by yourself, " pay attention. It's clear that part of the line was dubbed in, as there is a very hard cut between the words "Well" and "It."

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11
Audio problem: When Cordelia wins May Queen, the clapping sound effect doesn't match the students clapping in the slightest. It's far too loud considering it's a small group outside, and continues on for about two seconds after the students clapping.

Nightmares - S1-E10
Audio problem: When the Scooby gang goes back to the hospital to try to wake up Billy, they talk to the doctor, who mutters "My hands." However, his words don't match his lip movements in the slightest. He seems to be muttering something else entirely.

Audio problem: At the beginning of the episode at the Bronze, when Buffy gets up to go and Willow tries to get Buffy to stay, Xander suggests they can dance. But his mouth movements don't match the words when he says "Eh, yeah, it's early..." (His head is turned away from camera, but you can see the side of his mouth, and he's saying something else).

Audio problem: When Xander is talking to Blaine in the cell, Blaine is explaining what Miss French/She-Mantis does. At one point Blaine says "She ties you up, " but his mouth doesn't match the words at all. His mouth and the words match for every other line, so I'm assuming they decided to add that line in post.

Audio problem: After the opening credits, we see a band playing in the Bronze. The lead singer's mouth doesn't seem to 100% match what he's saying. It's mostly right, but just seems a little "off." (Ex. There's a few very brief moments where individual syllables seem to not match, etc.) It's very clear he's simply lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track.

Audio problem: After Buffy catches the pig in the hallway, Principal Flutie tries to take him back. The pig squeals, making Flutie back up. However, it's painfully obvious that the pig isn't actually making the squeal and that it's just added in post. The pig looks completely calm and happy in Buffy's arms, it doesn't wriggle at all, and if you look closely, you can even see that its mouth doesn't move in the slightest. It's about as far away from squealing as possible.

Welcome To The Hellmouth (1) - S1-E1
Audio problem: When Buffy meets Angel, when she says the line "What I want is to be left alone!" and Angel replies "You really think that's an option anymore?" pay attention. Buffy's last few words don't quite match her lip movements, and Angel's lips don't seem to be moving at all for his line. The audio looping is a little sloppy. This is better seen in the brighter HD remaster, but is also noticeable in the original, darker standard definition master.
