What version of OS (and which OS) are you using (Win/Mac)
Which sound library are you using and the configuration setup in Play--> Playback devices-->Audio Engine Options
Are you mixing sound libraries?

Mike,
Sorry I didn't see the reply until just now. I'm answering your questions as best as I can for a "non-techie".
Windows 10 Home; version 21H1; OS Build 19043 1645
Sibelius Ultimate 2021.12 Build 580
Configuration: Sibelius 6 Essentials
Playback Devices: Sibelius Player
Audio Engine Devices: Primary Sound Driver (DS)
I'm not mixing libraries...wouldn't know how![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I have Sibelius 7 Sounds as well, and the French Horn doesn't have the delay, but I personally don't like sounds as well.
Appreciate any help...

Hi Peter, What you are hearing may not be an actual delay, but an artifact of the sound samples. I uninstalled the Sib sounds essentials some time ago as I use NotePerformer, which is better in almost every respect.
I do understand that NP is less good for pop/jazz.
Just a further thought. I reinstalled the Sib sounds just now and was shocked at how bad they were! However, there was no delay on the horn part in the quintet I have just played. Could you send me the actual sib file so that I can try it for myself? I'm on Win 11, but any issue should port over if it's a problem with the file.
