Hitsound Doesn't Update Quick Enough

So my TF2 hitsound doesn't seem to be quick enough, for example when I'm playing heavy, engi or pyro. Especially on MvM on things like giants and tanks, the hitsound seems to not be as fast as the damage per hit/second I'm doing.
I notice this when I watch other people's games or stream, when they play those classes on those kind of targets, it's a lot faster.
My tf_dingaling_repeat_delay is set to 0 as well.

there's probably blankness before the hitsound. in that case, open the audio file in audacity, cut out the blank part of the audio, export what you have left as a .wav file

It's actually the default hitsound, which other people are using and is quicker than mine.

i don't think that's quite enough to account for such a long delay, but i recommend setting it to .02 just to test
other than that i'm not sure exactly what's causing it

The only thing you could do to increase it is put the hitsound file in audacity and increase the gain or use the amplify effect to get a louder sound.

.02 just makes everything sound distorted and weird AF.
The hitsound isin't actually "delayed" as such, it's just not quick/doesn't seem to make a sound for every sentry bullet kinda thing.

it's framerate dependent. So someone with higher consistent frames can use a lower value without issues, but if that players framerate dips, they will get choppy audio

play around with that setting until you find something you notice works at all times, while also being the lowest you can
