Freezing of Sounds

I switched from an Arch-based user-friendly operating system to Vanilla. The problem is that using Arch is harder than I expected. My system does not have a contraction, high CPU, high RAM usage. But when I turn on music on YouTube, the sounds sometimes freeze. When I first installed the system, I couldn't get sound, so I installed a bunch of different things. In my opinion, the sounds freeze because one of these systems overlaps. What is your solution proposition?

Re: Freezing of Sounds

You aren't playing back anything here and that constellation should be logically fine

Sorry. I forgot to open a video in the back. Here's the output after opening a YouTube video.

/dev/snd/controlC0:  arch   671 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:  arch    671 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0p:   arch    671 F...m pulseaudio

Re: Freezing of Sounds

Should also work fine what "freezing" happens exactly? Maybe during actual playback post

pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs

as well.
