The first one was powered by 5v off a dedicated usb charger. The new one uses an A/C adapter

Issue still occured

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

I've tried various ports on the motherboard and when directly connected to the same ports that the KVM switch was then there was no issue. I've been wanting to replace my kinda crappy board anyways so maybe the new one will fix it whenever I get around to it. I think I'm going to try to just use 3.5mm cables instead of USB and hope it works fine over the KVM switch. Just ordered a few.

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

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

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

I don't get any audio drops on my work laptop running Windows
Tried different KVM switches
and different ports
with all of the same devices connected but my speakers connected directly to my computer then I get no drops

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"
