Audio stutters whenever I have Android Studio open

Hi. I've noticed that after installing Android Studio from the AUR, whenever I have the application open, my music playback starts stuttering. I've tried both Spotify and YouTube to rule out problems with the player, and the issue is present in both. I have a powerful enough system that the resource usage from running Android Studio should not be an issue (Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 GB RAM). Running htop shows all cores below 5% and around 5 GB RAM usage. I'm running pipewire with pipewire-pulse for audio. The pipewire process already has niceness -11 so it should have the processing time required. Journalctl does not show any issues related to audio. I'm out of ideas of how to debug this further, any advice would be appreciated.

~❯ pipewire --version
