Thank you for the code.

Can you try using [FMOD Engine | Core API Reference - ChannelControl:setPaused](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/core-api-channelcontrol.html#channelcontrol_setpaused) rather than pausing the event instance?

A detailed explanation of the the delay is present can be found here: [Best way to pause/unpause while keeping sync - #5 by Leah\_FMOD](https://qa.fmod.com/t/best-way-to-pause-unpause-while-keeping-sync/22354/5)
