Always the same stutter when beginning to play

This doesnt depend on the filetype, it occurs on .opus, .mkv, .mp4

The video, if existing, plays normally.
1. I press play, no sound for 0,7s
2. Sound is there for 1,3s
3. Sound goes away for 0,7s
4. Sound goes on again normally

the sound does not pause, it just shuts off and skips the part.

It doesnt stutter if I pause and quickly resume, but it does when I pause and wait longer.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
I have set caching to 20s somewhere but cant find the setting
