Hello again Norma, it is not a component issue, if you read last comment from Ron Brown 2, this sounds more logical. Looking forward for more news from him in a month.

After updating to Windows 11 on my 6 month old laptop, my audio files take 20 seconds to start or they do not start at all. This also causes a delay in videos starting whether the file is on my computer or a website. Has anyone else had this issue.

2022-03-22T12:46:54+00:00 I hope this works for you. Dell's last attempt to fix the problem was to returned it to its factory setttings. They reinstalled Windows 10 but after about 1 month the problem returned. I wonder if the issue is a particular Dell computer (or component). I have a XPS 13 9310.
Keep us posted if the issue returns. Hopefully you found the solution.

The repair that Dell was going to do on my computer was to give me a new motherboard (and something else, but I can't remember what part that was). To me that translates to a problem with the hardware. Even putting my computer back to the original factory settings didn't help. The subsequent updates just brought the problem back. It is just frustrating that both Dell and Microsoft are taking so long to fix this problem. Yes, it was very good of Dell to send me a new computer, with Windows 11 preloaded. So far, it has been almost two months, and the computer is running perfectly.
I also have used Dell for many, many years and never had an issue. I hope they find the solution soon.
