Glad to hear that White Noise worked for you Sean.  I just stumbled on that one by accident, and it has worked perfectly for me each and every time.

I had not known about white noise, I had Bluetooth Audio. I installed white noise and it took about 30 seconds to kick in once I switched to my Bluetooth headset, but it seems to be consistent afterwards. I let it sit for a couple minutes and my first key press wasn’t cut off.
