Please tell me why I can’t disable sound delay on the Sonos Port line input? Minimal settings is 0.75 sec. Why you cant add a zero settings?
In some cases this is absolutely necessary. When I bought your product, I didn’t know that I couldn’t remove the sound delay.

Because Sonos needs it to sync music over devices. Even if you have no other devices Sonos is wired like this.

There are literally dozens of threads, explaining in excruciating detail, why the buffering delay is not removable. Here are a few:

With respect, @pilot715, your profile says you’ve been a member for many years. Were you really unaware of the delay on Sonos devices? And if your Port is a recent purchase, why not return it if it’s not suited to your needs?

It looks like this was done deliberately, but I don't understand why?

I am an installer and have been installing Sonos streamers for many years, probably one of the pioneers of this brand in our country.
but at the moment the needs of one of my projects require audio transmission without delay and I did not know that it was installed by default in the software.
I am simultaneously promoting a bluesound project where four streamers are also involved, I may have to swap them.

I guess you will have to swap them then. The reason for the delay is explained in threads mentioned above, so there’s no point in repeating it here.

Doesn't this mean that audio delay is a problem?

As an installer for many years you’ve got more experience than me. That said, you’ve never seen it as a problem before…
