VLC and Elisa (music player) skip while playing MP3s (self.linux4noobs)

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!

Happens in Ubuntu as well since several months in all players. Doesn't happen with opus and flac files.

Something compression related maybe. Hmm
