XPS 8940, Oct 12 update causing audio stuttering

A very strange problem suddenly appeared: audio constantly stuttering (buffer under/overflow) when attempting to watch YouTube, either from Chome or Edge. However, audio is clear when running test sounds or playing .wav using foobar2000.

Audio configuration: Focusrite 2i2 3rd gen, 48000/24 bits both on playback and recordings. All other audio devices are disabled.

Is there anybody else with a similar problem?

    Win 10 or Win 11?

    If you got the Realtek audio driver update, either via SupportAssist or via Windows Update, you might try rolling that driver back in Device Manager and/or confirm Realtek is still disabled...

    You might have to enable Realtek audio in Device Manager and roll back the driver to the previous version. Then reboot and disable Realtek again.

    Manually set a System Restore point first before rolling the driver back, to be safe...
