Strange sound delay on audio Play()

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I’ve created different projects with Unity, and now am working on a simple project in Unity3.
This thing has got me going for some time now and can’t wrap my head around it.

I’m trying the simplest thing: play a sound at the right moment.

I’m checking some stuff in a OnTriggerStay event, and when the time is right i fire a function which does some stuff. The function is called at the right time, when i print something to the console this is printed at the right time.

BUT when i play a sound (from a preloaded gameobject with audiosource), my sound is played after a small delay, which is not what i want.

The called function looks like this:

void my_function() {
    print("log test"); // called @ right moment
    GameObject.Find("ObjectWithAudioSource").audio.Play(); //played after delay
}

My sound doesn’t have any silence at start, it immediately gives sound. I tried a compressed mp3 and wav version of the sound. I don’t understand what is going wrong here, must be something simple…

Any help is very much appreciated.

It seems not related to a delay, but my audio clip was started to often due to wrong calls, which causes the problems.
