Claude Found the likely cause of CS2's ~23ms first-shot audio delay.
In soundsystem.dll, CSoundSystem's vtable function at index 27 (RVA 0x5CF00) schedules sound events.
When a full-auto weapon fires for the first time, there's no existing timing anchor, so the scheduler places the sound at mixer_now + snd_delay_sound_ms_shift (23ms).
In other words, CS2 deliberately waits 23ms before playing the first shot to establish a timing reference for synchronizing subsequent shots. The problem is that this delay applies even to the very first shot.
Kudos to @Leo__CSGO for finding this issue. Now, it's upto Valve to fix it or just let it be, as it's intentional from them.
I personally would love Valve to lower the snd_delay_sound_ms_shift to the minimum the mixer actually needs, like 5-10 ms.

Well, this is an interesting CS2 vs CS comparison. 💀
Apparently, automatic weapon sounds in CS2 are delayed by roughly 20–30ms compared to CS.
The AK-47 is +24ms, the M4A1-S is +26ms, and the P90 is +29ms.
Meanwhile, the AWP is only +2ms.
It might not sound like much, but in a game where milliseconds matter, it's worth talking about. Why do you guys think Valve made this change? 👀

-Smokes in CS:GO are super bad. Valve did a great job with the CS2 smokes and the ability to reveal smokes with HEs.
-Audio is also a lot better in CS2, felt very off in CS:GO even if I tried the 3D audio on/off.
My take: PLEASE let us try CS2 with 128 tick. Might be THE fix.
