Moto E XT1526 Audio Sound Lag topic

Experiencing audio lag out of the box. The best way I can describe the effect is when you have HDMI connected from a PC to some audio receivers. If there is no sounds coming from the PC and the first event sound or audio is played there is sometimes a tiny loss of the beginning of the sound. All most as though the receiver knows it should be playing something and needs time to sync the bit rate kHz for playback and misses the first few milliseconds.

All ringtone, notifications, heck even YouTube is doing this out of the box. Missing the first few milliseconds of everything played. I noticed it first off then later rooted etc.. Thinking I could resolve on my own or it would resolve after debloat. I didn't notice the issue when briefly running CM12.

The plan if I can't resolve here with suggestions is to drasticly lowest level possible reload the phone complety then go from there. Who knows what happened to this thing when originally flashed and to the shelf.

Tried the normal stuff like reset phone off the get, cleared cache's. It happens with stock notifications and ringtones. I don't want to work around the issue by adding silence to the begining of all the ogg files. :p Most ringtones and notifications have an initial attack to the sound and I won't hear some if they are too short.

Any suggestions before I take a chance on bricking on my own? Also chime in if I'm not the only one having the issue.
