Audio Latency too high on Oculus Browser of Quest 2

I don't know if this is a forum where Oculus inside team checks,  but I'll report this here once anyway, no other place to say this a

I mean the Oculus Browser.  Not talking about the Quest 2 native apps.

If I check the "AudioContext.baseLatency" value in Quest 2's Oculus Browser,  it reports 10X latency of Quest 1's Oculus Browser.

Quest 1 reports 0.004.   Quest 2 reports around 0.045, but I suspect it's around 0.2

Also in reality, it results in a noticeably late sound effect playback. Impossible to use for any user reaction sound effects (like musical instrument simulators)

I don't understand how this could happen in a superior hardware.   Can something be done about this?

    Please anyone at Oculus take a look at this
