  1. I SOLVED IT!…
    Well, the solution was there all along; you just needed to try using the audio from the HDMI output… I’m not 100 percent sure that the delay is zero, but it’s much less than the others.

  2. The reason Windows does this is pretty simple, if stupid. The unwashed masses associate audio breaking up with buggy or broken software, plus Windows has to run on everything from high end gaming rigs to potatoes, so Windows and developers use really conservative buffers, and most people don’t notice the difference.
