While using Sound Alerts (or other browser source-based integrations), there may be an unusually long delay between the redeem of a sound and the actual alert playing on your stream.
A delay can have multiple reasons. Here is a list of the most common reasons:
- VPNs
- Some addons/plugins for your internet browser can impact Sound Alerts. Try to disable them and observe if something has changed.
- Internet security settings can cause trouble.
- Anti-virus software like "SkyShield" often blocks or delays Sound Alerts.
- Internet connection. If your internet connection is a little unstable, it can come to a delay too.
