I also tried the same client PC hardware with W10 and the issue doesn't appear. I think I can rule out network problems. Since I also tried it in a raspberry and the problem was also happening there I no longer know if it is a linux problem, a moonlight problem or a compatibiility problem between my w11 server and my linux clients.

Im having the same issue on cachyos linux. The video stream is extremely smooth with 0% network jitter, but the audio is stuttering like crazy.
