Delay when starting audio...

Coulous · February 8, 2020

Hello,

I received a new soundbar today, and it works just fine. But the problem is, I noticed that when I launch any sound (either a song or a windows notification sound) I got some time cut out. For example, if I launch a song on YouTube, I don't get the audio for a solid 5 seconds. It is VERY VERY frustrating. I did some research and I found out it is a common problem with Realtek Drivers (which I have). But I had the same drivers for some years with the old sound system and it was fine...

So, I'm a bit lost. I tried a method supposed to fix it by disabling idle in regedit, but did not work for me.

If anyone has got a solution, or an idea, it is very welcome. Thank you.

Edit : I tested it with other sources (laptop and phone) and it does the same thing. So probably more because of the soundbar itself. I notices that when it's in AUX, the "noise" shuts down when song is paused, and it seems that's what causes the delay when playing back audio...
