See bug 2110338

Lots of complaints about nouveau, so I won't mark it duplicate, but the
TL;DR version is that you should stick to 6.8 kernel so the Nvidia 470
driver works.

Title:
  Resolution set to default and no audio on standard propriatery, tested
  driver. Switching to x org in additional drivers results in frequent
  video lag and audio cut out.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  The standard gk107gl driver setting - in "additional drivers" - for
  the quadro k420 I use causes the audio to break completely. No audio
  is available at all. Then the resolution is set to 1024 x 768, I
  think. Whatever the standard setting is. Basically, large icons and it
  appears something from the early 2000s. It's also impossible to change
  the resolution, as no other options are available in the drop-down
  menu. While I've heard messing with Xrand in the console is a thing,
  I'd rather not mess with that.

  When changing to the X org X server setting in that same additional
  'drivers' section, I'm able to use audio and change the resolution;
  however, the audio cuts out several times a minute or even more
  frequently depending on whatever is running. For example, using an
  emulator like PCSX2 (a PlayStation 2 emulator using the "automatic"
  setting in the renderer) is quite terrible causing almost second-by-
  second audio cut-outs. Using another emulator, Simple 64, is even
  worse. It's almost unusable and the entire thing basically lags to the
  point I often have to mash buttons to get out of the thing. I tried
  Conkers Bad Fur day and it gave me a bad fur day.

  Video programs are frequently crashing, such as MPV Player. The Mpeg4
  codecs were broken for some time for whatever reason, also. I could
  not get certain video codecs working.

  Another odd thing, is clicking on .mp4 files now take two double
  clicks. Very strange...

  When viewing videos with high bit rates (somewhere in the region of
  50000 KBPS which a camera I use outputs from 2.7K videos) the video is
  an absolute mess and lags so bad it's unwatchable. It looks like it's
  running at around 10FPS, when the videos are 30FPS.

  I've reinstalled a few times thinking that would solve it, but it
  hasn't. I've had to do god knows how many partitions and wiping of
  partitions, which is always fun.

  What I would prefer, would be that the initial additional drivers
  setting worked and that X org wasn't chosen.

  In the last version (the first version I've ever used since I'm new to
  Linux) I will say that screen tearing was unbelievably annoying when
  videos were full-screened and I found it incredible that I had to go
  into the Nvidia server settings to allow the full composition profile
  on every log-in. If that's been fixed in the recent update, that's
  fantastic, but please get this working if possible.

  One more thing: I've tested another operating system - that intrusive
  Windows 11 - and all programs work perfectly that require video and
  audio. I tested Music Bee, a video editor known as VDSC and several
  emulators. All work perfectly. So, the issue is with the latest
  updates from July 17th, seemingly, not my GPU, which is getting on a
  little bit, admittedly. I'm no expert in whatever update did this. You
  guys will know better.

  Finally, I'm a little disappointed I needed to create an account to
  discuss this. I submitted a report yesterday and two earlier thinking
  they were submitted and didn't realise an account was necessary.

  Regardless, I hope this information is helpful. Not sure if you guys
  can read my system name, but I was so frustrated by the 4th install
  that I called it "useless operating system." Spur of the moment,
  maybe....
