Windows 10: Delayed video playback on Windows 11

I did a fresh install of Windows 11 yesterday, absolutely love it and didn't encounter any bugs yet; except this, on YouTube, I realized that the audio is fine, but the video is a bit behind/delayed. I checked on other video sharing sites, same problem. Did a restart hoping something, nope. Any suggestions? I use Microsoft Edge, I never encountered this issue on Windows 10 so going to put this in "Performance and system failures" in Windows 11 category
