Resolving Audio Driver Conflict Delays
Character voices were delayed by 0.5 seconds, making the story experience feel comical and breaking immersion. I tried updating the sound card driver, but the delay got worse, which was incredibly frustrating. I used the GamePP Peripheral Driver Conflict Detector to identify the specific conflict. I disabled the conflicting audio service and reconfigured audio routing. After the fix, CPU usage stabilized at 40-45% per Task Manager, and OBS confirmed the audio delay dropped from 0.5s to 0s.
