VLC and Elisa (music player) skip while playing MP3s (sh.itjust.works)

Howdy,

I have been experiencing annoying brief skips, like on a bumped CD player, with my media players. Replaying the same song or same part of the song does not have the skips, so I don't think it's the files' fault.

Had the same problem in Elisa and VLC. I don't watch much local video, but streaming audio and video doesn't have this problem for me.

Watching the system monitor I see I have 10 Gb of free memory and only 5-10% CPU utilization.

System is Debian 12 with KDE and Xwindows. (Wayland doesn't like my Nvidia 1070)

Any suggestion for how to troubleshoot would be appreciated. I tried downloading more memory but that didn't help!

I shall try!

They're just MP3s, but I wouldn't know what kind.
