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.

    It may not be a "PowerPoint issue" per se, but... If the OS audio issue causes PowerPoint audio to not work properly, as it did in my case, then it becomes a PowerPoint issue. With the kind of work I am doing in PPT, if I can't get sound to sync properly, I can't do my job.

    Your problems are different as per your initial comment, is only happening with video in PowerPoint, this chat is no about PowerPoint issues. Go ahead, consult the Dells support or MS support.

    Hello MohabSharaf, I am not a Microsoft agent, if you dont know to handle it, find help with the support dept of Microsoft or find an IT that can help. If you read the comments, there is explained where to find the firmware in the advanced update options.

    Hello B.

    Give it some time, they probably go fix the problem per brand. Firmware is a must, but this is a must on every brand to do the fix, has nothing to with Microsoft.

    By the way, it is happening to Windows 10 too. It is a matter of brand-new tech getting together with the existing infrastructure and software in the world. It is a matter of time, and will be definitely solved.
