    I am having an issue (tried a few different drivers), where the audio wont play for a video until a few seconds into the video.

    Happens on Netflix, youtube, etc.

    as far as I know, i've tried the latest MSI direct driver, the original (whatever was first on here), latest on realtek's site.

    Not sure what to do here.

    sound and video work fine, just that initial delay is bothersome.

    Go into the Realtek control panel and in the lower-right part of it there is a cluster of three buttons. Select the one that has the battery icon, then click the radio button that says "Power Management Enabled" which actually disables that "feature." That should fix your problem.
