I would definitely confirm what they heard first. Otherwise you can end up repeating the wrong half.

On video calls I sometimes get a one-second audio delay and accidentally talk over people. If that happens repeatedly during a consulting interview, should I mention it or just try to adjust silently?

Mayank G.CoachIf the delay is noticeable and affecting the conversation, mention it briefly. A simple acknowledgment helps the interviewer understand that the interruptions are technical rather than a communication habit.
My interviewer could not hear me for the first few minutes. Should I mention it afterward?
- Interview/Tech Issues
The audio on my side was working, but the interviewer could barely hear me at the start and we spent a few minutes fixing it. Once it was resolved, the interview went normally. Is that something I should mention to recruiting afterward or just leave it alone?

- Interview/Tech Issues
My connection cut out during the middle of a virtual case. I got back in after about a minute and a half and the interviewer continued normally, but I am worried the disruption made the interview look messy. Should I proactively email the recruiter about it?

Mayank G.CoachIf the interview resumed normally and the interviewer was aware of the connection issue, you usually do not need to turn it into a major incident. A short note can be appropriate if the disruption materially affected the interview.
