This sounds to me like a huge delay between the command and til the sound gets heard.
I don’t have any experience there, but do you mind explaining how big the latency is?
Are we talking about various seconds or a couple of milliseconds, resp. a few hundred milliseconds.
And when you say sometimes, how often is sometimes?

And in addition it might be helpful to look at the command itself you are using. What command is it?

And finally the question is, if you execute other commands in parallel. Eg. by default all commands are executed sequentially one after the other one. Eg. if a previous command takes very long, it might block the subsequent.
This unless you specify the ASYC command as the very first command in a block of commands.

The ‚only‘ command worth adding an ASYN option would be the ones containing the SLEEP 100, as these would add a delay of 100ms.
But even these would not explain a latency of 1000ms as you experience.

As such, you might have certain latency spikes.
These are explained here and are typically audio driver or hardware related:

Hi Bernd and Henk.

The "sleep 100" is added so that carts don't "cut off" at the end. (Delay in "turn channel off")
Our setup is similar. And the Airlite is connected with USB, but "soundcards" are WDM/Wasapi not ASIO, WDM/Wasapi has latency over ASIO.

You might cut the latency to something lower if you get ASIO4ALL-drivers for the AIRLITE.

Hope it helps. ;-)
