I've been experiencing frequent audio dropouts while watching videos in my browser. The audio cuts out for about half a second, which is really annoying. I'm using a PC connected to a large Roku TV (Element model E4AA65R-T) via HDMI. I checked my audio drivers and they're up to date. My PC specifications are as follows: Windows 11 Home 24H2, Ryzen 5 5500, ASRock B550M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and a Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card. I'm not quite sure what else to look into for this issue.

A soundcard could really make a difference. You can get one that either fits in your PC or connects via USB. They usually provide better drivers and sound quality compared to the built-in sound on your motherboard. Just google soundcards and you'll find plenty of options!
You might want to try lowering the sound quality settings in Windows. I had a similar problem when I set it higher than DVD quality. It helped when I adjusted it back down. Worth a shot!
Have you tried using a different HDMI cable? I had multiple issues like surround sound problems, but when I switched to a Creative soundcard, the audio experience improved drastically!
I just swapped in a different HDMI cable, but I'm still running into the same audio problems. What's that soundcard you mentioned? I don't really know much about them.
I have it set to DVD quality right now and have already tried dropping it to CD quality, but I'm still facing the same cutting-out issue.
