Which hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, disk I/O speed)? What specific version of Resolve? What OS? What timeline resolution? What framerate? How does your drive rate with Blackmagic Speed Test? Which GPU drivers are installed? What format are you trying to render to?
1) when attempting to trim a clip; by putting the play head at the start of the clip, the audio from the beginning of the clip DOES NOT start and play in sync with the clip-- the first second of so just doesn't play... in order to hear the clips audio all the way through it is necessary to put the play head back behind the edit just to hear the audio within the first second of the clip: UNEXCEPTIONABLE!
What specific source material are you trying to use? Sometimes these playback issues hinge on a clash between hyper-compressed formats (H.264, H.265, XAVC, etc.), or different kinds of audio codecs (48kHz WAV, 44.1kHz WAV, 44.1kHz MP3, 44.1kHz MP4, etc.), different bit-depths (16-bit vs. 24-bit vs. 32-bit). We try to standardize on 48kHz 24-bit WAVs for all audio just to ease the workflow challenges, and "generally" it all works fine. I admit, we do sometimes encounter issues where Fairlight has jumped into a weird routing output, and it requires some poking around to get it running again.
