If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my developme…

Initially when the audios are played from TimePosition = 0, they are perfectly synced with eachother. However, whenever a script tries to make an edit to the playback of the audios (eg: changing TimePosition, pausing and resuming playback) they almost always desync. This means that pausing the game in any capacity desyncs the audio tracks. I tried several…
