- bluescrn 2y agoEven if it’s perfectly synchronised, there’s likely no guarantee of deterministic playback. Perhaps a background process is dealing with some network activity or other OS task and throws the timing off fractionally. Or maybe a disk access (even for something in the background like streaming music) takes fractionally different amounts of time per run and affects the precise time at which the input is polled.
