Feb 18, 2016 5:42 AM in response to yrwb26by Winston Churchill,Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have no such delay when I play audio through an Airport Express. You need to determine whether the problem is with your network or the device you have attached to the AirPort Express. I'm not sure what other equipment you have available to you to assist you in this task.

Preventing audio delays while watching videos with Airfoil
If you watch video and transmit the audio with Airfoil, you will notice a distinct delay between the local on-screen video and the remote audio playback. This two second delay between local and remote playback is inherent to the AirPlay (formerly AirTunes) protocol used by the AirPort Express and Apple TV, and cannot be removed. The result is that if you use Airfoil with most video players, the local video plays about two seconds ahead of remote audio.
To solve this issue on Mac OS X 1, we created Airfoil Video Player. Airfoil Video Player takes control of video and decouples the audio and the video. The video playback is delayed for the same 2 seconds, then played on-screen in sync with the remote audio.The end result is that you get remote audio and local video in sync with one another. Supported video includes Web video from sites like Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube, most types of local video files2, and DVDs.
To play videos in sync with Airfoil, you must use Airfoil Video Player. Airfoil Video Player is included free with Airfoil itself.
Using Airfoil Video Player
1) Set your source in Airfoil to "Airfoil Video Player" and then connect to your remote speakers.
2) When Airfoil Video Player launches, select the video you wish to play.
3) Press play, and enjoy local video with remote audio, all in sync.
That should be all you need, but for more details, read the Using Airfoil Video Player page of the Airfoil manual, found under the Help menu in Airfoil.
Footnotes
1. At this time, Airfoil Video Player is not available for Windows. ↩
2. Because it is impossible to control playback of DRMed iTunes Store videos, they can't be played with Airfoil Video Player. ↩

Feb 18, 2016 6:03 AM in response to yrwb26by Winston Churchill,★HelpfulThere is no delay if the equipment is used properly, AirPlay doesn't allow the audio stream from a video to be played separately, if you want to use 3rd party software that breaks the rules you will have to accept the consequences.

Feb 19, 2016 3:07 AM in response to yrwb26by Winston Churchill,There is no delay with AirPlay, mine works perfectly well, if you get a delay, you have a problem with your network, your equipment or you haven't set it up properly. You can keep posting threads all day, people have problems for various reasons, it doesn't mean there is an underlying issue with AirPlay.

Feb 22, 2016 7:55 PM in response to yrwb26by Vinceassociate,★HelpfulUnder what conditions do you personally see the 2 second delay? With an iPhone connected via Airplay to an Airport, I do observe the following:
Playing music and video via Apple programs, the video or screen controls and audio remain in sync - No problem
Playing videos locally stored on the iPhone in Videos remain in sync and react immediately to the controls- No problem.
Playing a YouTube video via Safari the video remains in sync, however when stopping the video, the onscreen video stops immediately but the audio continues for 2 seconds. This does not occur in the above cases.
Playing a home video from iMovie theatre is in sync and stops audio and video immediately, however when restarting the video it is immediate however 2 seconds of audio is lost.
Playing an Apple purchased movie does the same.
There appears to be a delay transmitting the audio but Apple has for practical purposes worked around it so that the user does not have any practical problem and does not really notice it.
I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish that this impacts you, but I have not run into any practical case where it causes me a problem.

Complete nonsense. If you have a delay it's specific to you it's not generic.
