I managed to fix it in the end by simply going into the console and typing

sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire

and then confirming to remove the pulseaudio conflicts

This fixed the issue instantly

fun note: the latency issue only appeared to happen when i was using my GoXLR via usb, sound via HDMI worked fine

I'm not sure what your exact question is but I'm guessing you are
looking for a quick fix to reduce the latency (delay).

The first thing I would try is to reduce the buffer sizes.

Some useful info available here:

I suspect the latency is present all the time including for other applications
but only noticing it when gaming as that's when it's most obvious.

I hope you get it sorted.
