Monitor Audio Delay

reversalmushroom

I got a new monitor, and for some reason, the 1st 2 seconds of audio playback from the speakers whether it be from a browser or music player or speaker test will be silent. Not every time, but it seems like half the time. None of the fixes listed here have worked.

I know it's the monitor because it doesn't happen when I plug headphones into the case. I don't think it's the drivers because I've tried reinstalling Windows which reverted the drivers back to the default ones, and it still happens whether I use those or update to the newest ones. And I've tried uninstalling the Realtek drivers and installing the generic Windows ones.

It's irritating. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

Does your monitor appear here?

Have you already set it as the default?

Someone else already answered this in the interim. Apparently, one of the Realtek drivers kept making my speakers go into idle if I hadn't used them for a few seconds. But thank you for the attempt.
