Delayed audio in meetings

[Huskerbert]

Hello,

When I am in a meeting or on a Teams call using my computer's mic and speaker, I see the people speak before I hear them.  There is about a 2-second delay in the audio.  Is this a common problem?  Is it fixable?  Thanks!

@Huskerbert -- how are your speakers connected to your computer? Wired? BlueTooth? The latter can cause minor delays -- but not in the order of two seconds.

How fast is your computer? If you open the Windows "Task Manager" during an active session, and click to the "Performance" tab, is the CPU running at 100% busy?  That's an indication that your computer is having difficulty keeping-up with the incoming feed, and that you need a faster CPU.
