Audio output missing for first 3 to 5 seconds when using display output audio.

HP Spectre x360 16-f1013dx

The first 3 to 4 seconds of audio is missing at the start of any audio/video when using display output audio (TV on HDMI).This happens on playing local audio/video files and online such as YouTube (video starts but no sound until 3 to 5 seconds into video). Windows and bios are up to date. My last hp laptop did not do this on the same screen. I purchased this system to use as a multimedia device on my TV I really need to resolve this issue.
