Increasing host audio delay during meeting

While running a Zoom meeting, my attendees complained a significant audio delay in hearing me, delay that was increasing throught the session, to a point where they could no longer follow what I was saying. This never occured with my old Toshiba laptop, and started to happen when I switched to a new Huawey laptop.

Has anyone had this audio delay experience. Could this be computer model related, or was it just a coincidence?
