Description of the problem:  
The timing components of my routines are not working in my experiment online, but they work when I run the experiment locally. For example, the text in my “LexInput1” routine is supposed to appear after a 1 second pause, but it appears immediately at the start of each loop of the routine (except the first loop). This does not happen when it is run locally in a browser. Additionally, a sound file is supposed to play in every loop, but it only plays on the first loop. After that you get a brief buzz when the loop starts, but nothing else. Again, it plays correctly locally. This problem happens in all three of my routines that have loops: LexInput1, LexInput2, LexQuiz.

I tried with both 2024.2.3 and 2024.2.4. The same issue happened with both.

I just tried that version, and it is doing the same thing still.

Try adding a static component or a blank text component from 0 to 1 seconds
