Premiere pro CC Audio Latency delay

Not sure which forum this should go in, I'll try to descibe the issue the best I can. Audio clips in adobe premiere pro 23 do not play the audio immediately at the beginning of the clip when pressing play as usual. ex: When I press play the audio clip scrolls a few frames before I actually hear the sound playback, normally immediately when the timeline begins moving over the clip I hear the sound instantly at the 1st frame of the clip, but now the timeline bar scrolls several frames pass the beginning of the visible wave before it audibly plays back, there's a delay in timing, and it's beginning to interfere with productivity since I have to guess where the sound will begin on the clip now, vs. how I can normally simply visually tell when/where the audio is playing, somethings is off. I hope that's clear? Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
