EDIT : Appreciate all the input, never did figure out what the cause was.... Somewhere in booting between two kernels it just .. stopped being a pain in the ass .... Not my favorite type of resolution
Two weeks ago, I did some updates on my nobara desktop and ever since I've had a significant delay in any audio playing.
I've been poking at it with no luck, and am just out of ideas. Logs don't show anything worrying, running pulse audio in debug looks fine, tried reinstalling packages, tried some tweaks i found online and nothing seems to work.
Rebooting into live environments from USB shows the sound working fine so decent chance the hardware is ok.
Been administrating headless *nix systems since the 90s, finally decided to try on the desktop now that I don't have to use Windows, and .. struggling with this.
When you say delay, do you mean that the sound starts playing 1-2 seconds later, or that the mouth and the audio aren't synced? If you're meaning the #1, then I have the same problem on Firefox under Debian-Testing (kernel 6.10). No solution to it.
Sadly that wasn’t the issue, I did have a 6.10 kernel option but the delay is exactly the same in the previous kernel.
Both, I miss the first bit of audio, and when it plays it's not synced to video in video sources.
Its not just in Firefox, even the startup sound is being truncated.
Any music player as well, first bit of audio is gone and it plays approximately the same little bit of time after I stop playing.
Have you tried an older kernel? Fedora (and Nobara I assume) usually allow you to boot with previously installed kernels through GRUB.
Sadly that wasn’t the issue, I did have a 6.10 kernel option but the delay is exactly the same in the previous kernel.
I'll have to check, there is a pending kernel update I haven't done, zfs isn't ready for it apparently.
I don't think I've had another kernel update since I installed but I'll look when I'm home. Thank you!
