Hi there,
As you can see from Fine-Tuning the Ubuntu 24.04 Kernel for low latency, throughput, and power efficiency, there were some improvements to the kernel this cycle which you might be seeing form a gaming perspective. I, too, have seen much improved performance in this arena from both a gaming and audio engineering perspective.
As such, if you add preempt=full to your kernel command parameters as shown in the topic I just linked, you might see even more improvements.
