Audio stalls on first hit-object

Bug description

The game stalls for a second right before the first hit object causing the audio to be off for the rest of the beatmap.

This started off as something that just happened when osu was idling in the background for a while and was fixed with just a restart, but now it's happening every time I try to play a map.

Screenshots or videos

Here's a video of the bug itself

This is most likely an issue with your audio drivers or something else running on your PC. Please troubleshot any recent driver / windows updates.

there haven't been any available audio driver updates for my system for about 2 months now, and the only other things that're running are jellyfin, powertoys, and wallpaper engine

I did update my nvidia drivers about a week ago but this problem only started about 2 days ago

Please try turning on experimental audio mode.
