Audio latency Mac
Audio latency Mac
Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a small audio delay on my T2 chip Macs (currently using a Mac Mini 2018 i5 with 32GB RAM and a 512GB SSD). The delay shows up when watching videos on YouTube, streaming apps, or using VLC directly through the Mac. It's not super obvious but I can confirm it exists. I've tried turning off hardware acceleration, swapping out sound cards, connecting headphones directly, but nothing helps. Is there a way to manually tweak the latency? Also, do you think this is something Apple is aware of? They’ve shared a feedback link for me to check.
Never encountered manual latency adjustment. Applies to both Mac and non-Mac systems. Not the approach you were implying. Edit – check the link on t2 chips. The audio problem is a recognized issue similar to what you mentioned about the chips. There are also recommendations to switch to USB 3.0 rather than 2.0 or Thunderbolt 3 hub. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250394337 Apple has issued updates to mitigate the problem.
You can utilize a DPC latency checker to identify drivers or processes responsible for delays. https://melvinyoung.website2.me/blog/dpc...r-mac-os-x
Hey guys. Thank you for your assistance. Actually i found a solution. There is an application called SoundSource which allows AU units to be loaded. So i loaded the Simpledelay plugin and i was able to adjust the latency in audio. It seems like this issue is known under mac and especially under T2 chips after all my research. So... using this app i was able to manually adjust the output latency for all the software i need. You can use it for the main output or per application. I also own a Macbook Pro 2019, 16 inch, and the issue is the same, so i applied the same fix. The issue applies also to the integrated audio. There was a noticeable delay in everything i played over youtube or local files. Unfortunately i cannot find a different solution other that his 3rd party. I have also discussed this with Apple support, they know about this matter. I don't know if this applies to the Apple Silicon laptops, but for Intel with T2 chips, this is the only solution i could find.
