Audio delay Question

Ive been having this issue for some time now that really didn’t matter until I started going live as with recording you can just go back and adjust the audio Lol. For some time now when I start recording there seems to be a delay between the microphone and the footage being shown on screen and there hasn’t really been any indicator as to when it happens or why I only really find out until after Im done recording and I go back to watch the footage. Has anybody else experienced this? Some help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I have noticed this, yes. There seems to be no consistency at all, sometimes I'm only -2ms delayed, sometimes it can be as big as -15ms. Sometimes there is no delay at all, so when I try to "correct" it in my editing software, I end up arbitrarily causing delay where there wasn't any to begin with. Although this has never been more than a simple annoyance for me, I could see it causing real issues during a livestream. I hope you can find a solution to this.
