Package: Gnome
Version: 43.9
XOrg or Wayland: Wayland

*OS Information*

OS: Debian GNU/Linux
Version: 12.2.0-14
Kernel: Linux version 6.1.0-18-amd64 (debian-kernel at lists.debian.org)
(gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.40)
#1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.76-1 (2024-02-01)
Bug summary

When on Discord, Youtube, or any activity while using a DisplayPort as
primary output Gnome will micro-stutter. When a micro stutter occurs the
whole system will replay sounds, video, etc of the previous few frames. For
example Youtube will double play the same note during a micro stutter, or
if someone is speaking in discord their last word will repeat twice. I
tested this with HDMI, and none of these issues occurred.

to reproduce

   1. Plugin a DisplayPort Cable. This can be integrated, or video card
   2. Fresh install of Debian, selecting the Gnome desktop when installing
   3. In firefox or chrome play a youtube video, as it easy to see the
   stutter
   4. Micro stutter should occur within 5 - 15 mins. The video will repeat
   the last frames / sound


*Suggestions *
Upgrade Gnome to a version that can support Displayport

*Notes / Other Useful Info:*
- Ticket already made with Gnome:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7422
Gnome closed the ticket as Debian uses an unsupported version of Gnome

- KDE has a similar issue, but I have not tested it with HDMI to see if
that fixes the issue
