May I ask if there is any way to solve the significant delay in sound on Android phones, or what causes the problem of excessive delay.

Hi,

Could I please get your FMOD version.

Are you using a game engine like Unity/Unreal or a custom C++ engine?

Something else to check is the loading mode you are using on the audio files: [FMOD Studio | Managing Assets - Loading Modes](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/managing-assets.html#loading-modes). Can you confirm that you are not using the `Streaming` mode as this will have the highest latency when playing.
