Has anyone noticed airpods audio delay on desktop? The audio as well as the transition between cards containing audio is delayed when I use airpods. I’m using an m1 mac.
I don’t have AirPods or Mac, but…

Maybe the issue will disappear while playing a 1 hour long silence audio file at the same time in the background (to keep the audio device active)
-
It doesn’t seem to be the same issue, but it resulted to some changes to the audio code in mpv-0.36 for Mac and maybe the behavior will be different after updating mpv to the latest version (Anki uses mpv under-the-hood to play sound), but I’m not sure if it’s possible to update mpv on Mac.

Anki ships with mpv-0.33.1, I think, because of supporting old macOS versions.
In the past it was possible to use Finder > Application > Anki and view its contents (Ctrl or Right Click > Show Package Contents), but this option was removed from Mac (according to Google) and I don’t know if you can modify the folder using the Terminal app and I don’t know if Mac will allow to run the modified Anki app after replacing the mpv binary with the latest mpv version.
But it might look something like this:
-
Close Anki
-
Open the Terminal app and try to remove mpv by running this command.
rm /Applications/Anki.app/Contents/Resources/mpv -
If it was successful (no error message), try to open Anki. There will be no sound, but everything else should work normally.
-
If Mac doesn’t prevent you from opening Anki, try installing the latest mpv version and updating the Path environment variable (so Anki could find mpv).

It can be done via Homebrew
-
Install Homebrew - https://brew.sh/
-
Install mpv with
brew install --cask mpv(the precompiled mpv binary will be downloaded from https://laboratory.stolendata.net/~djinn/mpv_osx/)But if you’re on macOS Sonoma 14 Public Beta, it will be a bit more challenging. If I googled it correctly, apply the following patch by modifying the formula with
brew edit mpvand then compile mpv from source usingbrew install mpv

Or maybe AirPods will behave differently while using HTML5 Audio to play mp3 audio files.
Maybe try the following deck. It includes two subdecks with the same 5 cards from https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/974811307 (Classical Music Themes). The first one uses
[sound:audio.mp3]and the second one uses<audio src="audio.mp3" controls>. Normally, mpv should respond a bit faster and HTML5 Audio will wait until the page is rendered and will be delayed a bit (maybe by 0.1 second).https://drive.google.com/file/d/18qwAGZcwtyXLn4SKGYod8k3ZzQlikBx_
