foobar not playing very beginning of audio

I've noticed recently, though I'm not sure how long it's been going on, that when I play a song in foobar it skips the first, I'd say half of a second of audio.

It's a small skip but it's been irritating me a lot. The only way to prevent this skip is by starting the track by advancing to it from a track before it.

Consistent across tracks? Do other players behave different?  Is there a cuesheet?

It happens across all tracks, most noticeably on anything that immediately starts with some kind of percussion

Other players aren't having the issue

Pretty sure there's no cuesheet

Also, rewinding the song back to the beginning still causes the skip

After experimentation, I've realized the skip also only happens if I start a track while I'm already listening to one, or have one paused.

If there's nothing playing, the track plays normally

I guess that could maybe be considered a fix? Some way to prevent it at all would be cool tho

Sounds like you have fading turned on. It's under Preferences -> Playback -> Output
