I've been having quite an usual problem and I can't find anyone else experiencing a similar one. This has happened since day 1 and I'm fully updated on patches and drivers. When I unmute, join a chat, or anything else that essentially goes from mic off to mic on, it takes as long as 10 seconds for me to come in clearly. After those 10 seconds, it's fine. The problem applies in several voice platforms (discord, zoom, etc). I've tried multiple microphones and USB cords (directly to the laptop and also via hubs), but most notably I have no such issues with any combination on other computers. The one short-term solution I've found so far is to delete all my USB drivers and reboot - but that seems to only solve the problem for half an hour or so before it's right back to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
