Initial audio delay present when using framework13 intel core series 1 with WD22TB4 Dock

I am seeing or “hearing” an audio delay when I use my framework13 with the WD22TB4 dock. The reason I am using this dock is because I already happen to have it for my WFH dell PC (which btw doesn’t have this issue).

The issue is that when I start playing a video the audio will not be there for 2-3 seconds. Then the audio will “turn on” as if it were on the whole time. This doesn’t happen 100% time but happens pretty often.

I tried this solution but it didn’t seem to work: Solved: Re: System Sound Delay - Page 2 - HP Support Community - 6224970

Another suggestion I found on the internet but I can’t find a similar setting: ElegantWin1694 comments on Few seconds audio delay when connected through HDMI/DP

I should have the latest framework13 drives and latest dock drivers

This is on Windows 11

There are no audio delays of any kind when not using the dock

Any thoughts? Thanks.

I also tried unchecking the “make this device exclusive” (this device being my monitor) but that didn’t work as well.

Update unchecking “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” on all the Generic USB Hubs in device manager did not work
