Delay audio for specific device

My personal opinion is that adding a delay to the computer audio is not a precise
solution, for two reasons :

• There is no way that you can measure exactly the required delay
  
• Such a delay will be confusing for everyday work with the computer.
  

I suggest instead using a software product that specializes in mixing audio
and can solve the delay problem without introducing new problems.

An example product is the free
VB-Audio VoiceMeeter Banana.

The
VoiceMeeter Banana User Manual
describes how to add an action via MACRO Buttons (page 29):

One of the programmable actions does a delay on the strip numbered i :





I have no experience with the product, but I believe that you could use
this feature to introduce an audio delay.
