M1 Macbook Pro Audio delay when changing output devices

Good day, I noticed my M1 Macbook Pro audio takes about 20 secs delay before changing from internal speakers to external headphones(via 3.5mm) and bluetooth speaker. I tested an M1 Macbook Air, and the delay is only 2 secs.

Then compared in the System Report under Audio, M1 Macbook Pro has a Default Output Device and Default System Output Device, which the M1 Macbook Air doesn't have.

Is this the same as other M1 Macbook Pros?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

Mac mini M1 audio output is unreliable My Mac mini M1 audio output is unreliable. Sometimes it works with speaker or headphones, sometimes it doesn’t. I needed up buying a usb to 3.5 Jack adapter as a work around.Anyone else have this problem?

Homepob mini has audio delay when used as a speaker for MacBookPro M1 Laptop Does anyone know know if there is a solution for this problem? If I watch things from any applications on my computer the audio is delayed by about 2 seconds. This is super frustrating considering this was going to be my audio solution for my desk setup. I just purchased this a few hours ago. I will likely return the product if there is no solution to this issue. I will say that the audio quality is really good and that makes this issue way more frustrating, I believe that this could be a great audio solution if it can work properly.

M1 Mac mini forgets sound output settings Hi all, Today I switched to the new M1 Mac mini. I'm very impressed. The only issue is with sound output: I have been using Altec Lansing Expressionist Bass speakers, which work fine. After plugging the jack into the Mac mini, at first the audio interface would not appear in system settings. Now it does, but sometimes macOS forgets the saved output settings and reverts back to the internal speakers. Have you ever encountered a similar issue? Possible fixes? Thanks in advance. M
