Games Stutter When Next YT Video Plays

I know the solution for this is "don't do that" but I'm hoping to find a different solution.

I like to have YouTube videos playing for background noise when I play a game that doesn't require a whole lot of attention (FF14 right now). But whenever a video stops and the next video starts, whatever game I'm playing very abruptly stutters for about a second and then clears up. Then it happens again for the next video and the next video. I thought it was maybe a FF14 problem but I recall this happening in the past for other games and never figuring out why, and I just booted up two other games right now and it happens with them as well.

Any ideas? Using an RTX 2080, YT videos are playing in Chrome. I've tried minimizing Chrome, even having a different tab open and selected, and it still happens.

since it's just audio, have you changed it from "Auto" to like 360p to test it out? Sounds like your computer is devoting either it's internet bandwith or processing bandwidth.

I also suggest checking your hardware acceleration option in Chrome - https://www.maketecheasier.com/what-is-hardware-acceleration-and-why-it-matters/

While I was maximizing my Twitch stream, I did find out about how much Windows 10 Game mode sucks also. I would suggest taking the steps to disable that

This could cause some hiccups in the system also.
