While it's likely just be the delay settings in your case, don't forget
there is also the tyranny of distance. Sound only travels 330m/s, so for
every 10 meters you move away form the speakers, you will introduce a
30ms delay.

I find the distance factor of time sync starts to be noticeable when I
can hear two zones at volume. This is especially true with our kitchen
and outdoor speakers. If I turn up inside so I can hear it standing in
the middle of the patio, there is a noticeable 45ms delay added in,
simply because the inside speakers are 15m further away than the outdoor
speakers. 

I have everything synced so when running at a normal volume, I naturally
pass through each zone cross over in a point where the speakers are in
sync, so I never notice this effect on day to day. But if I turn them
all up so I can hear the lot and stand at the front door it's a mess of
up to 1/8 sec delay due to the players being spread over 40 meters.
