Recently, I noticed that the sound for Windows alert was delayed a couple of seconds. Audio for iTunes and Youtube are OK, but when you go in Sound Property and test for sound, it takes over 10 seconds for each of the left-right test chimes.

 

I found a post that suggested that the audio driver was the cause for slow boot up, which I also experienced so I reverted back to the January 2021 version but I still have the issue.

 

I can work with it, just a bit annoying. Any idea what can be done?
