Been having this issue probably since v3.0 or less, I am not sure since I always assume it was something with the computer itself.

Can you still reproduce this issue when you disable all plugins?
Also, have you tried disabling hardware acceleration to see if it still happens then? (Options -> Advanced -> Disable hardware acceleration)

cant be, cause it only ever happens with this App. Other electron based applications dont cause this. Also I get this om wired as well.

What is the specifications of your PC?

@SleepDaemon @SurajBhari

And, can you provide the reproduction steps?

I can't reproduce it in RX6600+R5600, and RTX4080+R7800X3D (Windows 11)

And what are the "other electron based applications"?

I have Intel i7 6c 12t (will need to get on my laptop later for exact model number) and GTX 1660 to wit 32gb ram.

As for steps just have the app open in background running. While playing a game.

I will try to reproduce this at home, but I've been gaming next to YT music and had no lags so far. I would assume this is either a Windows task priorization or laptop energy control issue.

@SleepDaemon @SurajBhari
What game were you playing and what power profile were you on? Also is YT music running on the dedicated GPU or on the integrated one?

As for the game its f1 22 for me. And no it doesn't happen same with browser (edge). For me it's only doing this on bluetooth speakers. And not on laptop speakers.

I get it on Siege, I have hardware acceleration enabled i think. My CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz

I tried reproducing this with a couple of games like AC:Valhalla, Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA 5 and a few other, but nothing noticable. I also had them fully cranked up so my GPU is at 100% utilization but to no avail.
I'm running it on Win11 with an RTX3080 and an i712700K. Am I right to assume that both of you are running it on a laptop?

To me this still sounds like YT Music is running through the iGPU which is lowered to a minimum when the dedicated GPU is being used. Could you check what GPU it is running on for you?
You can check that by opening the task manager and enabling "GPU engine" by right-clicking any of the column headers and it should look like this:

@SleepDaemon Did you check if the CPU or GPU are at 100% when this happens? Like, are you using an FPS lock in your games or do you just let them use as much as possible?

I'm honestly running out of ideas here 🙈

I said what I experience and discovered, I'll try out today running Siege with the app. If I still get the issue just with this app and nothing I will let you know.
