macos – Multi-second audio delay with USB microphone

My M1 Mac mini, working newest macOS, has just lately developed a microphone subject with my USB headset. The principle symptom is a multi-second audio delay:

Once I open System Settings and go to “Sound” -> “Enter” and make some noises then the “Enter Degree” accurately strikes in accordance with my noises for a few seconds, however then it repeats these first couple of seconds and continues from there.

Successfully, after the primary 3-4 seconds there may be at all times a microphone delay of those 3-4 seconds.

Individuals I attempted to carry audio-calls with additionally reported a foul sound high quality along with the delay; unusually these points do not present up with FaceTime, simply with different purposes!

The USB headset has labored effective on the identical laptop, linked the identical manner (by way of a USB hub in a keyboard) for months.

Connecting the headset on to the Mac mini doesn’t assist.

Rebooting the Mac mini doesn’t assist.

The microphone in my crappy USB digital camera does not exhibit the identical subject, it stays in “actual time”!

Equally the headset linked to a distinct Mac seems to work accurately.

The speaker a part of the headset at all times works accurately, it’s simply the microphone that’s displaying the delay.

Undecided what else to attempt in need of wiping the machine and putting in from scratch.

Any concepts?
