No audio right after playing media

[BL00ky]

When playing media(from groove music, mp4 files, youtube...etc) on my earphones, there is a short period of time at the start where there is only silence.

I tried different earphones, wired and unwired. I inspected the audio files and there were no silence at the beginning.

This does not happen through the laptop speakers and it only happens when I start to play media through any wired/wireless audio device.
