Sound skips when mouse is moved

[Freeman Montgomery]

When you are playing a video or audio stream in a browser, if you move your mouse, is makes audio playback "choppy" and requires not moving the mouse for several seconds for it to go away. It makes doing anything else while watching youtube or listening to a radio station stream nearly impossible. I have to use my table and bluetooth while using google for other websites. It started after I upgraded from 23.10 to 24.04

Are the mouse and audio both Bluetooth/wireless?

[Freeman Montgomery (freeman9572)]

the mouse is wireless. The audio is HDMI to the monitor.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Next please try the non-lowlatency kernel.

[Freeman Montgomery (freeman9572)]

I'm a bit of a novice, and it would have taken a bit more advanced terminal skills than I have, but I did find out it was using the older of two (0,31 vs 0,35) lowlatency kernels. I did a reboot, and in advanced settings switched to the newest kernel, and that seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you for the suggestion.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Fix Committed, because it looks like the 35 kernel with the fix is still in proposed.
