Describe what's going wrong

There is a significant amount of audio delay in every game that I have tried in the latest build and even in the August build. I don't know since when this issue started occurring with canary but I came to know that it's an issue with master as well. Even setting the "apu_max_queued_frames" value to "16" which is stated as the lowest possible barely improves it.

Describe what should happen

No audio delay

Try

apu = "sdl"
apu_max_queued_frames = 16

in xenia-canary.config.toml

Setting apu_max_queued_frames = 16 definitely helps but there still remains a significant amount of delay. sdl doesn't seem to make a difference on my system at least.

Exactly. The delay is somewhere between half a second and a full second. How can we fix this?
