Research direction

Start by reproducing the delay with the ROG Ally Z1E, SteamOS 3.8.12, HDMI dock, and TV using the listed steps. Compare audio behavior under game load and after switching output from the TV to the handheld and back; done means the delayed audio is reproduced and its cause or a verified fix is identified.

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen.

Decided to play my ROG Ally on a tv via a hdmi dock i had used previously with a steam deck. At first the audio was fine and non-delayed but after playing for a minute under a full load the audio became delayed. After removing the load, the audio remained delayed until either unplugging the device from the dock or manually changing the audio output from the tv to the handheld then back to the tv. The audio delay was unexpected as the Steam Deck that has been used with it in past has never encountered this issue.

Steps for reproducing this issue:
  1. Connect SteamOS ROG Ally to TV via HDMI via a dock
  2. play a game for a minute
  3. quit game
  4. see audio delay by moving around the menu.
