Audio takes more than a few seconds to start playing when unmuting a track during playback (running Pro Tools on a SysAxe).

DAE sends automation messages to the SysAxe 6 seconds ahead of the audio that's actually playing. If you uncheck the Mute Frees Voice, then Un-mutes/un-solos will react quickly. Users who do not wait 6 seconds might think that the track is not playing, or that they need to stop/start to hear the unmuted audio.
