Just wanted to thank mini)(ant for this app. It's solved an issue on my laptop which had me stumped.
Problem was that system sounds were being produced late (by a second or two) if no sound had been played for the previous 5 seconds or so. Sounds trivial but turns out that system sounds provide important feedback to the user, and it's confusing when they're late!
Tried all sorts of things such as alternative sound device drivers, disabling hardware acceleration and enhancements in the sound control panel, tweaking registry settings for my sound device to modify its power settings. None of this worked.
Then I discovered REAL and it solved the problem instantly. I've put a shortcut to the exe in my startup folder with the command line switch to open minimised. Some people have reported that the app locks a CPU thread, but I've tested this and it doesn't on my machine (Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 9th Gen, Intel Core i7 1185G7, Windows 10 Pro, running a Realtek audio driver).
