title: What's causing this slow/delayed audio playback in Safari?

  <p>This code works correctly in Chrome and Firefox, but in Safari there's a delay of over a second between each sound. I can't figure out why this would be, as far as I can tell there are no compatibility issues. I want to play sounds at a precise time and at a reasonably fast delay in a game that I'm making, how can I get this working?</p>
