Problem: Video playback stuttered in Chrome, Firefox, and Celluloid/mpv. Audio would continue fine but video dropped frames or froze entirely.
CPU was 97% idle during playback so it wasn't a performance issue. Running mpv --no-audio played video smoothly, confirming the audio subsystem was the bottleneck.
Fix: Linux Mint 22.3 ships PipeWire 1.0.5 which has audio/video sync bugs. Upgrading to PipeWire 1.4.10 resolved the issue.
