The ARC preview sometimes plays the first clip followed by an arbitrary delay time, until it plays the rest of the clip and races to catch up with the scheduling. It only happens one time and seems to happen more frequently if I had Unity open for a long time or after I launched Unity for the first time.

Repro

1. Create an ARC asset with the following configurations:

## 2 or more clips
## Trigger: Automatic
## Playback Mode: Sequential
## Automatic Trigger Mode: Offset
## Time: 0.00 s

1. Plug and unplug headphones multiple times
2. Press preview

Expected: There preview playback works as normal

Actual: Sometimes there is a delay after the first clip

Note

The repro steps are an improvement from previous knowledge but they are still somewhat inconsistent

The delay can be short and hard to notice. But I think this current repro might hint at the underlying problem, which sometimes causes a noticeable large delay of more than a second. See the video ARC Delay Repro and the corresponding image with the same name. Notice that the third clip has started playing before the second clip finishes. This occurs due to the second clip being delayed
