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.

    I had the same problem. But I get a solution on the HP site.

    I changed my Realtek settings in Windows 11 Registry and it will work fine.

    Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\xxxx\PowerSettings

    where 'xxxx' is one of keys which contains

    DriverDesc value 'Realtek High Definition Audio'.

    Note: There may be multiple ones containing PowerSettings,

    for example 'Nvidia High Definition Audio'.

    You'll find there three binary values and set them:

    • ConservationIdleTime = ff ff ff ff;
    • IdlePowerState = 00 00 00 00;
    • PerformanceIdleTime = ff ff ff ff.

    Please check this web page for full info.
