PC Drivers & Software

This might be a strange issue but when I play music through Spotify connected to a projector over HDMI, I get weird audio stuttering over HDMI audio. But when I use miracast and connect my laptop over ethernet, I don't have any audio stutter. To be clear, the audio stutters only when I interact with other chrome tabs or move windows around then the audio stutters. Does anybody know why it might be doing this? 

Testing with a MacBook Pro and the same projector, the audio lag goes away.

Testing with the same projector and an external HDMI adapter, the problem goes away. The problem lies with the integrated HDMI port causing me problems. 

Laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad P16s AMD for those interested. 

Might be DPC latency because when I run latencymon and try to recreate the issue I sometimes get the alert saying high lag detected but most of the time I get the audio stutter without it saying high lag detected. 

Any ways for me to fix this?

To fix this issue, you may want to try updating your laptop's audio and graphics drivers to the latest versions. This can sometimes improve performance and reduce latency. Additionally, you may want to try adjusting your laptop's power settings to ensure that it is running at full performance and not throttling.

Another potential solution could be to use an external audio device, such as a USB audio interface or a dedicated DAC (digital-to-analog converter), which can provide better performance and reduce latency compared to the integrated audio hardware.

Finally, you may want to consult with a technical expert or the manufacturer of the laptop to determine if there are any known issues or solutions related to the integrated HDMI port and audio stuttering.

I tried using an external audio device and it doesn't have that problem. A external HDMI adapter also solved the problem. I've been told that it's due to the drivers that were provided by AMD. All drivers are on their latest versions and testing the manufactures' drivers and the AMD drivers didn't fix my issue. Already on high performance power settings. I've been told that the only fix is for AMD to issue out a updated driver.
