Razer Kishi and Audio Delay

Kinjarin · 2020-06-15T01:38:17+00:00

Hi everyone, I know this isn't particularly a Kishi question, or even a Kishi related issue, but since the Kishi's USB-C port does not support audio passthrough, there is no way to use wired headphones with a Kishi attached. On my Pixel 2XL, I am noticing that I have pretty significant audio latency when using any Bluetooth headphones (Sony WH-1000XM3 and Jabra 65t so far). I notice it when using local games like emulation through RetroArch, or through cloud gaming like Shadow. Since the Kishi advertises itself as a low latency solution, adding what appear to be hundreds of ms audio delay seems to mar that experience a bit. I've found myself researching Audio codecs and the like, and have tried the native LDAC for the Sonys, AptX (set in Develop Options) as well as I think the normal SBA (Which is all the Jabras support) and there is always significant delay. When I'm streaming PS4 Remote Play, it throws off the lip syncing on cutscenes, and when playing action RPGs like Diablo, there is a noticeable delay after my character shoots on screen and the noise happening. I know this isn't specific to my headphones as I have a USB-C Bluetooth audio transmitter for my Switch and there is essentially 0 delay with my Sony headphones using that. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to improve this issue and/or do you notice it yourself? Thanks!
