I can confirm sound desync in version 1.18.2. Without loading a world file the menu sounds can be out of sync. The sound issue only happens to Minecraft, I have 100s of games. My computer is up to date for all drivers and windows updates. My CPU & GPU do not show any major load issues while playing Minecraft. The desync happens even if the menu sound was in sync when before I open a world. If I sit afk (approximate average 30 mins) while going to do random things around the house. Come back to sounds no longer being in sync. I'm forced to exit Minecraft completely to fix sound issues. Restart Minecraft and sounds are fixed. My render distance is 12 for servers and 24 for single player as I like being able to step back and see the entire build as well as exploring the world. I have gone afk for over 8 hours and sound is synced most of the time. The delay can be rather large. EDIT: I forgot to mention my sound cards are Realtek high definition audio (speakers and headphones) and NVIDIA High Definition Audio (Samsung TV)
