Technical Issue Slight audio delay

[TeKilla]

I recently reinstalled Jedi Academy and MBII after a long time away, and I noticed a slight delay between actions and sound effects. For example, when I jump, the sound plays just a moment after the movement. It’s not a big delay, but it feels off, and I’m pretty sure this didn’t happen back when I used to play more frequently.

It happens on all servers, regardless of ping. Same issue on both JAMP and OpenJK, Vulkan or Rend2.
I don’t remember if I used the same soundbar back then, but one thing that’s different now is that I connect it via optical (TOSLINK). There are no special audio effects enabled.

Also, in other games, I don’t notice this delay at all.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to reduce or fix this kind of sound delay?

I recorded a short clip to show what I mean. Am I just imagining it, or is there really a slight delay?

This whoosh sounds is the sound of force jump power being used (drained). It start to drain when you tap and hold jump button for little longer. There's no delay

What stands out to me the most is the landing sound. It feels like it plays a noticeable moment after the character hits the ground.

You're not crazy. I added a bunch of material sounds, which included adding more landing sounds. When I did that though it seemed like the landing sounds got slightly off in timing. Not sure why currently. The rest of the sounds should be normal though, but landing is definitely off.

Thanks for the reply. I believe some saber sounds also feel slightly delayed, though it’s much less noticeable.
