For a little over a month now, when playing videos on firefox, VLC, or any other application, I get infrequent stutters. This is with or without hardware accelleration. It’s as if the video pauses briefly. If multiple videos are playing, even across different applications, each of them will be effected at the same time.
System:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
GPU: AMD AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT
Driver Version: Mesa 23.2.1-arch1.2
Memory: 4x G.Skill Ripjaws S5 16 GB DDR5-5600 CL28
Motherboard: PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI
Kernel/OS: 6.6.4-arch1-1
DE: Gnome-Wayland 45.2
Audio Server: Pipewire
Audio Session Manager: Wireplumber
I had this happen with multiple programs for a while, and I found out that my computer had changed the cpu governor from “perfomance” to “power save”
My cpupower profile was set to power save. I just switched it to performance and will give it some time
Issue still occured
This was exactly what caused the problem for me too.

What does that mean?
Ugh, I meant to say gamemode. As in Feral gamemode.
Try only having one video open at once. And reduce the resolution (make the window smaller)
It happens with only a single video or multiple. When there’s multiple it happens to all at once

Do you know what changed a month ago. It sounds like maybe a hardware issue or a bad update.
I had moved to a new house but my setup is the same as it was prior. I run updates regularly but I’m pretty sure the issue started after moving and before updating
