That's it, MS (Windows Update) forcibly installed an update that is not officially supported by Dell on this system, and as you see there's a conflict with two different driver versions installed at the same time. You have two different options moving forward: To force the latest update, go to Device manager > Sound, video and game controllers > right-click on Realtek(R) Audio > Update driver > Browse my computer for drivers > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer > then uncheck the option Show compatibile hardware and select Microsoft > High Definition Audio Driver 10.0.22621.1 [IMAGE] Click on Next -> Select Yes when prompted and then reboot the system. That's it!  
Hello, I have an xps 9310 and for some time I have noticed that the audio comes late. I noticed it both from web whatsapp notifications and by testing in audio settings - output settings. The delay is 15/20 seconds. There is definitely some conflicting driver. Considering that realtek hasn't updated the audio drivers for a long time, how can I find a solution?
