This is a guess: Audio on Jitsi requires a heck of a lot of processing power.
Interesting idea, but it was never a problem on previous computer, AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor, 16GB RAM - very anemic processing power. But when I upgraded a year ago to AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 6-Core Processor, 32GB RAM, I threw old parts found laying around into new box. And that nVidia G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] is attached to the monitor that needs disabling for audio (WebRTC, not YouTube) to work well. I'd suspected interference, but Wayland fixing the issue puts that idea to rest. Bloody weird, and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen with my own eyes the ability to reproduce it reliably. Anyone else telling me this, I'd doubt it. One untested scenario: moving WebRTC to that 3rd monitor instead of disabling it. Since that's where YouTube sounded good, would WebRTC sound good there too? Unlikely, and I'm not interested in pursuing it further as everything's working so well now.
