I bought this laptop in January, 2018. I have this issue ever since I owned this laptop. Whenever my headphones are connected and I'm watching a video or listening to some audio clip, there is a 2 seconds delay when I unpause the media file after some time. This happens only when the media file is resumed after approximately 15 seconds (till that no sound is cued). And it only happens while the audio is through headphones. Internal speakers works fine. I tried using different headphones and also updating the drivers but none worked.
