Videos stuttering across all applications

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.

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”

haroldstork ,

This was exactly what caused the problem for me too.

Lars OP ,

My cpupower profile was set to power save. I just switched it to performance and will give it some time

Lars OP ,

Issue still occured

Do you know what changed a month ago. It sounds like maybe a hardware issue or a bad update.

Lars OP ,

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

Try only having one video open at once. And reduce the resolution (make the window smaller)

Lars OP ,

It happens with only a single video or multiple. When there’s multiple it happens to all at once

    What does that mean?

    Ugh, I meant to say gamemode. As in Feral gamemode.

    There were issues with TPM so that might affect the older bios versions. You could try disabling it.

    According to the page you linked, firmware updates to fix this have been published ages ago. If this is related, surely the fix would he updating the firmware rather than disabling the fTPM.

    That said/ updating the motherboard firmware may help.

    bazsy ,

    You’re right, I linked an old article and it should have been fixed, but there are newer reports of remaining issues. But even this should be fixed in your kernel version already so it was probably a bad guess.

    There are still a number of clock sync issues with the Zen4 chips. I’ve had issues on 6.4/5/6 with similar issues that I’ve been able to somewhat mitigate by getting my amd_pstate settings to stop competing with other power tuning tools. Turn off EVERYTHING you have running dealing with cpufreq management, and just let the kernel amd_pstate do it’s thing. See if that helps.

    Lars OP ,

    I believe the only power tuning I had was cpupower. I just stopped it and will give it some time. Do you know a tool that’ll graph out my memory frequency? My memory seems pretty stable at 4800 MHz but I’ll watch it with “watch lshw -short -C memory”

    Lars OP ,

    Issue still occured. Didn’t see my memory fluctuating either
