Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The audio is stuttering in games, there are occasional crackling sounds as well, but for the most part it's just skipping 1-2sc of audio every 1-2sc. Other apps (Spotify, Firefox, VLC...) work fine, and they don't seem to be affected when I launch a game.

The stuttering happens for both native and non-native games, and regardless of how I connect my headset (plugged in my screen's output, through bluetooth...). This is a pretty recent bug, which I think appeared with recent the UI changes.

I'm using the native Fedora version of Steam, but the results are the same with the Flatpak version.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Launch Steam
2. Launch any game
