Especially since it's a i9-12900KF so I have a whole 8 cores disabled!

Yes exactly.  Sorry it's better described as clipping and that is exactly what I 
thought was happening too.  There were some suggestions in that ticket I tried 
to no avail.  It's almost like something is blocking the buffer from being 
filled.  The same issue happens when I use an external USB audio card but it's 
nowhere near as bad.

After this many months I'd like to say I've gotten used to it but some videos 
are particularly bad so there is some correlation to what audio is being played.

Oh well that's good to know you should update that ticket (#263385) as I've only 
known Alder Lake to be an issue up to this point.

Is this happening on CURRENT?  I'll upgrade for sure if I can use my E cores and 
avoid UFS corruption.


Amar.
