Win11 Heavy sound stutter, don't know what else to do

I've been having this issue for about a week now without any success in solving it.

I updated BIOS, CPU firmware, GPU driver (nvidia 595.79) and realtek audio driver with a file from their website, I also updated my WiFi adapter.

Windows is up-to-date with no optional updates.

I usually have several monitoring/device programms running like MSIAB/RTSS, razer synapse etc while listening to music through spotify and sometimes with discord open which has never been a problem in the last few years.

My power plan is set to ultimate performance, nvidia global setting is set to prefer maximum performance, cpu min/max set to 100%, no throttling in BIOS and I even created a power throttling key in RegEdit to disable it.

 

I will add screenshots from LatencyMon and other stuff that might be useful.

My network connections, I disabled my WiFi adapter days ago, NordLynx, OpenVPN is from NordVPN

 

My device manager with my audio/sound and network devices, SteelSeries is from my rarely used headset

 

 

My sound settings from my digital output, someone on reddit mentioned setting it to 96000 Hz stopped it for him, unfortunately not for me.

    My hardware:

    Ryzen 7 5800X3D (oc)

    Zotac RTX 5080 (oc)

    32GB ram g.skill trident z neo

    Asus ROG Dark Hero VIII mainboard

    1000w psu

    6TB NVMe, windows and everything else is running on them

     

    Additionally I also mention that we currently get our internet upgrade to FTTH which will be activated in about 10 days, the only other network thing that is currently happening. Like I said I disabled my WiFi adapter and now my realtek lan and using intel instead (different port in I/O) but still happening.

    The main things LatencyMon is monitoring high latency are ndis.sys and 

    wdf01000.sys but I don't know sh*t about them or how to fix it.
